Welcome to the Willard Jones cowcast! I’m your host, Amanda Friedlander, and I created the CowCast to talk about….well, whatever my boss lets me get away with. Be it history, culture, humor, memories, or just my semi-humble opinions, the CowCast is the perfect companion for your morning commute. So sit back, pop open a Green River – or a Goose Island IPA, we don’t judge – and enjoy this episode, which we’re calling “The Real World.”
