#113: An Eclectic Talent With Tony Flagiello

JAG Cast

This week, the PIC are joined by the creator of the Elkins Park Eclectic Talent Show, percussionist Tony "Catastrophe" Flagiello. Tony has had an eclectic career as a touring artist, dance class dummer, Red Bull promoter, and more! Tune in to learn about the coolest new talent show in the area and stay for anecdotes like the time Tony managed the shipping of Gwen Stefani's clothing line or what's it like to be 6'4" in a hip-hop band in Japan. Then, in a rousing Game Called Something, we learn the terrifying extent of Chrissie's caffeine addiction and Steve rants about electric cars. All that and more...LIVE from the 19046!
