Life22: It is Always Drury in Bradford (Day 13,922)
Episode Description
In this special in-studio Sunday morning episode, Kevin returns to the Life 22 Studio to test new equipment and share some exciting updates.
He announces that Life 22 has been accepted into Transistor.fm’s beta program for video podcast distribution — meaning video episodes are coming soon to Apple Podcasts and beyond!
Kevin also revives a 15–20-year-old idea: creating a local TV sitcom called “It’s Always Dreary in Bradford” — a gritty, humorous take on small-town life in Western New York, filmed in Olean. He’s putting the call out to the community for writers, actors, producers, directors, and anyone who wants to help bring this grassroots project to life.
Later in the episode, Kevin dives into a candid discussion about entitlement culture, the challenges of government assistance programs, non-profit tax exemptions, and why personal responsibility and strong communities matter more than ever.
A raw, thought-provoking solo episode perfect for Memorial Day weekend.
