#215: The Appalachian pro-wrestling lawyer who is also fighting opioid companies
Manage episode 420922303 series 2687679
Chuck and Big John talk about a question they posed, “How would you describe Appalachia to someone who has never been there”, and the answers they received.
Then, we have an extensive interview with Beckley, WV-based attorney Steve New, who has represented many pro-wrestlers as their attorney, and has worked on complex litigation representing babies against opioid manufacturers.
Featured Music:
