It may come as a surprise to loyal “Red & White @ Silver” listeners, but we were not always the well-oiled machine you’ve come to know, love, and cherish. We made the decision to publish our episodes out of order, and so far you’ve heard only our organized and refined episodes. (Admittedly, we may be stretching those adjectives’ definitions.) What you’re about to hear, however, is our very first recorded episode – Production Code 001, if you will. Please bear with the malformed episode as Ian, Jim, and Zack find their way.

Luckily, our guinea pig was among RWS’s most thoughtful and articulate guests, Andrew Burnett. Three years ago(!), he sat down to talk about his high school memories, his personal demons after high school, and then his rally to becoming the world’s greatest uncle and the proud owner of Drew’s Honeybees (www.drewshoneybees.com). With a bee expert at the table, Ian couldn’t help but generate some trivia questions on the birds and the bees – family appropriate, of course. Finally, if you’ve ever wondered what that world’s worst Winnie the Pooh impression sounds like, Zack is very happy to satiate your curiosity.

His name is Andrew Burnett, and he’s a member of the NFA Class of 2001.
