The Brothers RaskinFantastic FranklyWelcome to the Brothers Raskin. Technical issues are baked into the remote cake when hosting a podcast. In the past, it was usually something Brother Patrick did: bad Wi-Fi connection, not plugging in the computer, disconnected microphone.

And because these two rambling men live interesting lives, the podcast naturally took a divergent course. So, judge lightly as the Brothers do what they do best—talk at length about things they barely understand. The Brothers chat...2024-09-191h 06
