We welcome back to the Rick Flynn Presents podcast author LARRY JORGENSEN in promotion of his new book "Make it Go In The Snow". Make It Go In The Snow provides a fun look at the history of a few of the many thousands of snow travel ideas and those enthusiasts who gave them birth.

But keep watching, because more snow excitement is waiting to be created. By the book on Amazon.

A Very Special Message from Rick Flynn...

I recently received word of the homegoing of a truly one-of-a-kind comedian, actress, singer and inspiration to many worldwide, the incomparable LULU ROMAN, who will be remembered by millions as a star of the immensely popular network show called "Hee Haw" which appeared on the CBS television network from 1969 until 1993 whereupon it was very quickly picked up for reruns and syndication and a Grand Old Opry taped spin-off of the program entitled "Hee Haw Honeys" would also be produced and aired, once again, featuring LULU ROMAN as one of the show's main stars. We are rewinding this program, which was originally recorded on July 15, 2021, and placing it posthumously as our main feature for three-weeks beginning May 28, 2025, and continuing on June 4, 2025, and also for the week of June 11, 2025. This program will remain for one and all to hear, at your schedule, seven days a week and twenty-four hours a day, thereafter. along with all other episodes of our worldwide podcast, RICK FLYNN PRESENTS. Listen on all major worldwide podcast carriers. In addition to the original program with LULU ROMAN, herself, we are honored to have a brand-new prologue recorded on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, which features nearly twenty-year personal assistant and "sister from another mother," KIM TYGART, who is sharing special moments of her life with this incomparable show business personality, singer, comedian, author, actress and totally one-of-a-kind personality. Enjoy the show everybody...and thank-you KIM TYGART for your contribution.

"I will never forget you, Lulu. The time we shared was brief but also fun and inspiring. Sit at the right hand of your God with pride. You definitely earned your place in heaven!"
