Steve Sampsell

In a way, this was all Steve’s idea. Steve approached Darian in 2020 to create the podcast. Steve has covered a little bit of everything over his writing career and usually good for a tale or two. His hobbies include listening to P!nk, convincing Darian that P!nk is a good singer and tailgating before Penn State games. His work can be found in various Central PA outlets and now here.
