  • Friar Town Has Found a New Voice

    Billy is a natural talker and you can tell how at ease he makes his guests. The conversations never feel awkward or forced and it’s always interesting content from his amazing guests. An interview is only as good as the interviewer and Billy shows he is going to rise to meet that mark! Highly recommend.
