BNB Ep18 Stephen Rea- Author

OK, OK I know I jumped up from Episode 14 to Episode 18, but I threw the 3 videos in there, and didn't number them, so I've added them in. So there!

Today, I share my conversation with globe-trotting author, Stephen Rea, who has written a soccer/Katrina/friendship book "Finn McCools Football Club (The Birth, Death and Resurrection of a Pub Soccer Team in the City of the Dead)". In conjunction with a book review I was asked to write for the "Union Jack News", a US newspaper aimed at British Ex-Pats.

This episode is most of our conversation full of talk of football, Katrina and most of all, friendships made in the City of the Dead, New Orleans.
