Buzz Burbank Day

My friend and former co-host Buzz Burbank returns to the podcast today for his semi-regular visit. In case you're new to the show, I was Buzz's intern back in 1993 at WJFK in Washington, DC. We became close friends for many years before teaming up again starting in 2017 until his retirement from journalism after the 2024 election.
