Bait And Switch Podcast

Each season of the Bait and Switch Podcast features a new announcer to start the show. February's 2022 three minute highlight clip features our season 3 announcer, Bill Finn. After giving it a listen you'll realize why we wanted Bill's distinctive voice to lead in our show.

You may ask yourself what is a Consolidated episode? You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile. And you may ask yourself "Well how did I get here"? I ask myself, why do I entertain your strange ramblings. A consolidated episode is one where we take both halves of an old 2 part interview, take out the intro's and outro's and put them together so new listeners can get caught up more quickly. The Bait and Switch Podcast, it's not once in a lifetime, it's once a week.

Join us for the conclusion of our interview with "Steve" when we talk with him about the time he's spent in jail and prison. Wait... jail is different than prison? How? What's the food like? Are you always watching your back? Is it exactly like it looks in Shawshank Redemption? Those were some of the many questions we had and maybe you do too! Steve sets us straight and fills us in on all the details during this very candid and very informative interview. Enjoy!

We take a more serious tone this week as we talk to our friend- who we refer to as "Steve" - about his history of drunk driving offenses. Steve talks to us candidly about his experiences and also clarifies some things about intoxication laws in Wisconsin. We do our best not to educate our listeners, but sometimes even we can't help it! Enjoy!
