It Was Broken When We Found It

It Was Broken When We Found It

Ryan Hanson

IWBWWFI might not be the best name, but was a phrase used extensively back at the ranch by my father when someone would present him with something (or someone) that was broken. When the presenter was questioned, it was always the same answer: "It was broken when we found it". We'll be discussing current events with the emphasis on 'small town' type material. We'll be bringing on weekly guests that range from musical entertainment, all the way to local political candidates and everything in between. Our story isn't unique to our 'town' and will strike a chord with any listener. What our show lacks in quality is hopefully made up for with entertainment. Sometimes you get exactly what you pay for, but know that we're doing our best.

We may have blurred the lines on this episode, but Justin rolled with it like a pro. We're hoping to have Justin back again. Remember this podcast when you buy tickets to watch him at a stadium near you...
