Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of former bankers who will never get their memoirs published if I have anything to say about it… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!

John Hutton and I have spent hundreds of hours together watching pre-teen girls.

Don’t get the wrong idea – we’re soccer coaches.

At least we were for many years.
JOHN HUTTON podcast excerpt: "I had retired from banking in Newburgh, New York, and moved to Tampa, Florida, and had some free time on my hands, My brother, who passed away a couple of years ago, wrote some memoirs and genealogical tracts about our family and that inspired me. 'A Daily Dose of Innocence' has been a labor of love for the past five years."

One day, standing on the sidelines – or maybe it was on a long bus ride for an away game – John started telling me about this book he was writing. It sounded very personal, with short essays about everything from being a fraternity brother at Wake Forest to following his father into banking and from the joys of volunteering to the mysteries of fatherhood.

For years, I teased my friend about finishing his book so I could read it. It literally took years, but he surprised me one day and said it was done. Now I had to read it.

A new problem: what if it was terrible? What if I hated it? How would I tell this man that I had come to think of as a brother that he couldn’t write?

Sometimes, my friend
