Cheers to John B

It’s hard to explain why this story and these people are so compelling. Human interest at its finest. Brian and the team brilliantly captured a tiny chapter of American life I would have never known otherwise.

JBM will never be forgotten!

What an incredible story of one man’s life. Wonderful storytelling, I laughed, I cried and this story surprised me by ending up in such a different place than it started! I will listen to this podcast over and over!! What a character John Brooks Mclemore was!!!!
