Randolph Mantooth Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

Randolph Mantooth Re-Podcast Episode: It is the time of year when I replay the most listened to podcast from Medic2Medic. The story of how Mr. Mantooth became a guest goes like this. The podcast had a few objectives when I started 6 years ago. A few objectives included starting a podcast, 50 episodes, and having Johnny Gage as a guest. It took lots of wrong turns and emails, but I found a good email for Mr. Mantooth and sent it off. This was in the fall of 2015. In December, his publicist contacted me and said to reach out after the new year. I waited until January 2nd, and a few weeks later, Mr. Mantooth would be a guest. I got the chance to record and speak with Mr. Mantooth in March, and it was a thrill, and I was honored. This was episode number 30 in March of 2016. Enjoy.
