Host
Fannie Cohen
Fannie is the person who first opened me up to the world of podcasting in 2013, by volunteering to not only engage with me in an ongoing conversation regarding the ideal of the "Warrior Saint" lifestyle, but also provide the recording studio, editing expertise and publishing platform to make it happen. As an interviewer and conversationalist, she displayed an uncanny ability to merge intelligence, knowledge, humor and irreverence; a unique projection that I am still seeking to replicate in my contemporary episodes of "Warrior Saint". I haven't seen Fannie in years, but am still thankful to her for inspiring me to reach out to people through this medium.
