S2E9 - Theo, Frankie & Joe

In this special episode, our very own Theo Vecera, AKA "The Big Cheese", hosts two of the most prominent alumni of the YLC. The former leaders, Joe "Mac" and Frankie Cirillo, have many accolades in their repertoires but they mainly reminisce about how their journeys began at the YLC and their most memorable times in the "good old dayz". As the Youth Centre is coming up on 25 years since its inception, the guys look back and credit the YLC for how they were shaped into the people they are today.
