It’s a bittersweet Bertcast when my podcast producer, Halston Ray, sits down to chat about the last eight years of our lives together. We talk about him drinking Ari’s pee, the most I have EVER laughed on this podcast, and how in the world he went from pizza delivery guy to podcast producer! Bertcast would not be what it is today without him and I will be forever grateful for the memories, the assistance and the friendship we’ve had. He’s off on new adventures in Nashville - and I could not be more proud. It’s not goodbye, because I am SURE he’ll be on with a #1 hit in just a few short years.
