Episode 12: Nick Leckey
Nick Leckey is a son, a brother, a husband, and a father. He's a lot of other things, i.e. a token work-place professional, both president and a member of the KC Incognito Vacay Association (K.I.V.A.), and you know what else he is? He's a goddamn Super Bowl champion (New Orleans Saints, 2010).
My guest for episode #12 of Badass Records has a lot of great qualities about him, but my favorite is perhaps is sense of humor and infectious laugh. Seriously. He's one of the the best matches I've ever encountered when it comes to cracking wise on an even keel, so this conversation was a hoot.
Nick was one of the first potential guests I reached out to when this thing started to sprout, so it pleased me to get him on the books and eventually in the chair. He selected Cornershop's Handcream for a Generation and Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot as his pair of excellent LPs, and they were a trip to visit and revisit, respectively.
He doesn't have a ton of interest in boosting his Twitter following, but were you to be so inclined, you could find him at @mrleckey on that platform. And, hey -- if you're nice, he might even like your comment. I mean...probably not, but you can always hope, right?
Anyway, give our chat a view or a listen, will ya'? You'll giggle at least once. Guaranteed. If not, I'll hook you up with a free sticker whenever it is I get around to getting my merch' line up and running. Here's the catch, though: If you do giggle, ya' gotta tell a friend about the podcast. Deal?
Peace.
copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the intro/outro audio, but they're righteous clips from a kickass song -- Natural Self's "Feet Keep Moving" from their 2008 release, The Art of Vibration (c/o Tru Thoughts) -- so I'm doing it, regardless.
