    Jan 10 2025

    On Today's special live edition of the show I welcome fellow Cincinnatian Chris Glass. When Chris isn't busy making various goods from fire and wine, you might find his beard performing magic or attempting to find the perfectly fitting bathrobe.

    In his spare time Chris is a high security designineer for The President and the gatekeeper to Aaron Draplin. Chris is tall, carries a camera so that he doesn't have to talk to you, and enjoys farming.
