About the host
Hosted by Rod Carroll
I enjoy Life, my family, playing tennis, golf, traveling to anywhere and everywhere, good food (Mediterranean cuisine especially) and good wine, exercising, new ideas, non-fiction, historical novels, history, watching Premier League soccer games on TV (Liverpool and Barcelona are my two favorite teams). My favourite movie is The Godfather (2) with The Deerhunter a close second but then there's The Irishman, Being There...and who doesn't love Casablanca? I was born in Liverpool in England and grew up in Dublin, Ireland. I have lived in the US since the 1980's....
