I’m an award-losing writer and radio maker.
I produce The Colin McEnroe Show and hosted The Second First Season, both at WNPR in Hartford.
I’m on Twitter.
I have an email address.
I carry my own keys.
The Second First Season takes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a Double-A baseball team on a year-long do-over.
