We get an NFL free agency update with Jeff Nowak, WWL Saints sideline reporter.
BONUS: Presidents join the UFO discourse and new ways to look at death
This week, we’re diving into one of our favorite topics, aliens. While extraterrestrial life is often thought of as a sort of fringe topic, two U.S. presidents have recently been talking about them, so we had to get in on the fun. We’re also going to get a bit darker than usual this week with some talk about death.
Featuring audio from WWJ Newsradio, Tommy Tucker out of WWL and the Dana & Parks Show out of KMBZ.
