VLO Podcast (E-270) — FDA regs, Tincup whiskey, daily fantasy sports

Looking forward to 2016 — and to refusing to let other people’s expectations bring me unnecessary stress.

Today is the day that enchants the minds of children and provokes a curious admixture of joy, sorrow, angst and consumerism for adults. Yes, today is Christmas. May yours be merry.
