Topics-business, guns, whiskey, current events, and any subject listeners want to hear. I intend to have a live podcast once a month with audience participation when I get Starlink.

Larry Reidy's America

My guests will all be great Americans from all walks of life who will share with our audience their success and balancing their family life.

I hope everyone listening to the podcasts will feel like they are sitting at the table with the guests and myself.

Visit my website LarryReidy.net for my blog and for the two books I have authored, \"Batesville Shooter and Friends\" and \"My Quest for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness from 1939-2019.\"
