Podcasts about prosthetics

  There is no song of the week this Friday but music is still a vibe.    A whole bunch of KKHI Patrons loved the segment we did about Ozzy Osbourne's unbelievable life and we will share it with all of you now.  It's the kind of thing we do on Patron Podcasts if you'd like to join.    Then, drummer Billy Brimblecom is long time friends with Jason Sudeikis and the two of them invented Thundergong.  It's a music and comedy extravaganza and it raises money to help those that need prosthetics when their insurance won't cover it.  Billy was on my radio show a couple weeks ago and he's totally dedicated to entertaining and helping others as he lost his leg a few years ago to cancer.
