Eric Favors - Chapter and Verse

Eric Favors - Chapter and Verse

At Irish Stew, our podcast episodes are lengthy. We make no apology for that, we don't think we come to grips with a person's life in 15 minutes. In truth, it is ridiculous to believe that we can do so in an hour, which is roughly the duration of time we spend with each of our guests. Hopefully you agree with this approach and for those that do agree, thank you for taking the time to listen, both John and I realize that carving out an hour is a big committment especially when you consider the number of options in podcast world!
