From a beginner to Rohan Bopanna’s path to Olympic Gold, Iyengar has been helping people find their strength and path to healing. Find out about upcoming events and Open Houses, how no 2 classes are alike, and how technology plays an important role in the classes at 76 Maple Street in Florence.

The Hustler Files Ep 72

In The Hustler Files

IT’S EP. #72, SO LET’S REVIEW, WITH SPECIAL GUEST, PRODUCER JESS TYLER

With a guest gap for this week’s show, Creator/Host, Lisa Reilly, thought it would be fun to introduce her Hustler Files Producer Jess Tyler and chat about their favorite shows, since launching The Hustler Files in February 2023.  It’s because of Jess that The Hustler Files sounds so great each week! And it’s not a coincidence that it does! Jess has been in radio for as long as she can remember.  She’s a long-time radio Jock, producer and program director.  She’s a crime/drama junkie and so her passion for The Hustler Files platform and the guests that we have the privilege to chat with each week, is right in her wheelhouse!  This was a fun episode to make, and we hope you enjoy something a bit different for this week’s show/podcast.
