E303 – Joe Kurmaskie: Too Metal Cowboy



Joe Kurmaskie, famously known as bicycle touring storyteller The Metal Cowboy, joins us to tell some stories from the road, update us on his hereditary genetic disorder he recently discovered he was living with and what he’s doing to help others it affects, and discuss some local politics and social responsibilities.  Expect the rich and entertaining style you’ve come to expect from the cowboy – he brings it!
