In 2016, RexandtheBeast.com was thrilled to conduct a rare interview with the former CEO of Hard Rock Park, Steven Goodwin. Due to a change in our podcast hosting and other factors, that audio was no longer available on our website. After noticing that interest in Hard Rock Park has recently surfaced, and after the use of https://youtu.be/VY0e2Qh665Q (our video in a recent Bright Sun Films showcasing Hard Rock Park), we wanted to make that interview available again for our listeners. Enjoy!
