Welcome to the premiere episode of 'Skull Sessions!' In my 15 years as a working journalist, I developed the theory that 'behind everyone and every idea is a story worth telling.' Tara Dublin started life as a Jersey girl before becoming an alternative radio personality in the 2000's. The Great Recession took away her self-professed 'dream job' behind the mic, but this single mother of two transitioned her energy from music to politics in the social media age. Her story of earning her blue checkmark on Twitter is not an easy one, as Tara encountered the worst of what the internet has to offer along the way. She talks about that journey, along with how she got into radio and if it can still be saved, her 30-year 'purely platonic' association with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, the impact of the last four years of politics, and how all she wants now is for an agent to help her get published. It's my very first Skull Session - with Tara Dublin!
