Can I just pause right here to say that late night radio is waaaay different than daytime radio? Ok,…

Day 19: My Talent
Is the ability to slay confusion with the appropriate resource one reference question at a time… I can also balance a stack of books, a cup of coffee and a cell phone while fixing a paper jam without breaking a sweat. What’s your talent? Do you use your powers for good or evil?
