Hang up the disco ball, put on the bell-bottom pants, tube tops, halter tops, leisure suits, and platform shoes as we step back in time to 1978 with author, David Krell and then come back to 2025 as we chat with the cofounder of Big Dog Sauce Company, Dan Lloyd.
David Krell is an author, baseball historian, and a reoccurring guest.  His latest work is, 1978: Baseball and America in the Disco Era.  It is a fascinating look at a year which not only featured an exciting baseball season, but also included great music, wonderful movies, events that greatly impacted our country's history, and of course the sensation which swept the nation, disco.  We wrote this blurb for one of David's other books, but the same words can be applied to his newest tome by merely changing the year.  "David Krell weaves a magnificent tapestry of the year 1978; using baseball as the central thread, he magnificently combines the year's biggest events to make us all feel we are front and center and experiencing every moment."  For more information on David go to <a href="https://davidkrell.com/" target="_blank">https://davidkrell.com/</a>
Dan Lloyd is a cofounder of the Big Dog Sauce Company, specializing in all-natural sauces and rubs.  The idea was born in Colorado, but grew to maturation cross-country in New Hampshire.  Taken from their website, "We're more than just sauces; we're about igniting your taste buds and elevating every dish you create."  Dan is a true visionary as he is working on creating a freeze-dried sauce and has opened a physical store.  For more information on Dan and the Big Dog Sauce Company go to <a href="https://www.bigdogsauce.com/about-1" target="_blank">https://www.bigdogsauce.com/about-1</a>
