Jason Howell’s identity revealed

I am definitely a Buzz Out Loud fan boy. I always hear listeners complain about not being able to see what Jason looks like. Well, today, he went live. Luckily I got a screenshot:

Hey look, there’s Veronica too. I hope they go live every day. I would still listen to the podcast even if I […]
