Passion’ the time!

I’ve been an EP fan since I was a teenager in the 90s. I also love listening to podcast, as I am a FedEx driver, the days can get pretty long and monotonous. I remember listening to Jaime Kay’s Jungle Room podcast at a time when there were no EP podcasts. Shes sadly no longer with us, but this really fills that void. Thank you!!

Interview with Jerry Schiling

This interview was just wonderful! It was so interesting and I enjoyed listening to it very much. I have always wanted to meet Jerry Schiling and now I feel that I have. He was just as kind and spoke so well that I enjoyed this very much. Loved the questions that were asked and his answers made me feel like I could “see” everything he described. Especially that first day he met Elvis when he was in that group of 3 football players and he looked up to see the quarterback was Elvis. Thank you for sharing this special interview with Jerry Schiling.
