Summary

Big Boy IS the voice of Los Angeles. From radio to streaming to podcasts to video, Big Boy’s impact on L.A. over the last four decades has been unparalleled. Hear how Big went from being homeless to being a bodyguard for The Pharcyde to creating a legacy on Los Angeles airwaves that we may never see again in the city. He also discusses how an epiphany when he was 500 pounds led to lifestyle changes and lessons he still lives by today. Simply put, this is one of my favorite interviews ever.
