Daniel Miller is a journalist at the LA Times. He's also the creator and host of the Larger Than Life podcast which chronicles the fascinating life of Big Willie Robinson, a leader in LA's street racing culture in the 70s and 80s. A Vietnam veteran Green Beret who stood 6’6” and weighed over 300 pounds, Big Willie was larger than life for real. The podcast takes us from his beginnings to becoming a character who would bring together crips and bloods, celebrities and politicians, and play a key role in the volatile race relations of the time. It's an amazing listen that we hope you'll enjoy here: https://www.latimes.com/projects/larger-than-life-podcast/ Daniel shares stories from the podcast, in addition to his own stories of getting comfortable on the mic and learning to embrace the way that media is changing today.​ If you liked this one, check out our interview with Clint Schaff: https://soundcloud.com/rebel_radio/clint-schaff-of-the-la-times-how-to-stay-interested EDM.com Track of the Week: https://soundcloud.com/gxx/gxx-in-the-night
