Jonathan Mayo has been a writer for MLB.com since 1999, focusing on the MLB Draft and minor league prospects since 2003.  His new book is Smart, Wrong, and Lucky:  The Origin Stories of Baseball's Unexpected Stars is a fascinating look at how MLB teams find diamonds in the rough.  The book explores how first impressions measure up to their aftermaths:  the draft, years of progression, and for a talented few, major league success.  Jonathan profiles a diverse range of modern stars and looks at them through the eyes of those who noticed them first as prospects.  Featuring exclusive interviews with scouts, players, coaches, and more.  Go to https://pvtcbroadcastexperts.weebly.com/biographies/jonathan-mayo for more information on Jonathan.

Dave Williamson was once named “Best Comedian in Miami” by the Miami New Times and he is one of the funniest pitmasters.  Dave tours heavily, both headlining his own shows and as the supporting act for Bert Kreischer. His second album, “Trying My Hardest” was just released by Stand Up! Records and reached #1 in the iTunes Charts for Comedy. Dave's material is in heavy rotation on many SiriusXM stations.  Dave often talks about family, highlighting stories from his youth to navigating the role of Father & husband himself. He is obsessed with BBQ, and hosts his own podcast called “Meat Dave.”  Go to https://www.davewilliamsoncomedy.com/ for more information on Dave.
