We chose Allen Drinkwater author of “Victory” as our first interview and he was a natural fit with the AVRoom’s brand of podcast.Intelligent and knowledgeable he tells us in no uncertain terms the reasons for writing his novella.  Herbie and I have found a kinder spirit in this young man from Boston and will be speaking to him again in the future.

We hope you enjoy our conversation with Allen Drinkwater as much as we did.
