Ep 138. ”How it Happened” (Part 1 of Amy’s Interview with Darren Monnity and Halo)

Amy wanted this interview for a while and just like setting up a time to actually go and meet with Halo and Darren Monnity, this podcast airing had to be pushed. 

We extend our sincerest apologies to the fresh blood, Darren Monnity, over at Black Lotus Tattoo Studio (here in MD). Darren is the apprentice of Halo (a friend of the podcast and Season 4 Ink Master). This is just Part 1 and as this is all pre-recorded from earlier in the year, we know that this story just keeps unfolding, even past Part 2 (the conclusion next week).

Thanks to both of you for your time and patience with us. :) It's a grace we, very much so, appreciate. 

Hosts: Amy Nicholls & Rico Illiano (Rico's our intro and exit man) 

Sound Design by: Amy this week, but typically: (Sound Wizard) Chuck Nunn (@djchucknunn) Intros and Exits were also done by Chuck in this series.

New Intro and Exit Music by Chuck Nunn. "Jamuary 10" (list of Jamuary's found here at: Soundcloud.com/chuck-nunn )

OG Intro and Exit Music Created by: Brandon Carter at (Brandon Scott Carter Publishing). The name of the OG track is "Ink Apprentice". If you like Brandon's sound, you can email him at: (brandon.carter@outlook.com)
