About

Thank you for joining me for episode 3 of Wonderful People. My name is Joseph Butler and today I'll be interviewing a friend I recently met named Joe Biaggne. We met on a film set while helping a local director and I was immediately interested in hearing his story.  As expected, this conversation didn't disappoint. Joe tells me about his life growing up with a congenital heart defect and all the ways it has shaped him. I was a little caught off guard, to be honest. When I originally asked Joe to join me for a conversation it was solely based on a few brief interactions. He was a nice guy who I enjoyed chatting with,  so it caught me by surprise when he began telling me about his life. In the end, I was left with so much admiration for the person he is and the path that got him to today.I could mention more but I think it's best to just let him tell you his story.P.S. Joe left a little "easter egg" at the end of the episode for everyone's listening pleasure. Turn up your audio to hear his heart valve ticking like a clock.A few things to note:This one was a pain in the ass to edit. For some reason my editing tool was giving me trouble so after two editing sessions I wiped my hands and called it good. It should be pretty good now but my apologies if there's any skipping or uneven audio levels.I'm kicking myself for not getting a picture of Joe while he was here. Seriously - the most amazing outfit I've seen. Dude has style.Joe came into my home after the interview and got to meet my wife, kids, dog and cats. He was such a great guy and had us all laughing at his stories. If you're in the Eugene area give him an Insta shout. I'd wager to bet he'd make you laugh, too.Alright. that's all.Intro/Outro Music: Q and Not U - "Y Plus White Girl"** Big thanks to Chris Richards and the Dischord Records crew for graciously helping this little podcast out w/the music rights.
