What started as a mental health podcast has now transformed into a social journal for syndicated radio personality Tino Cochino.
Is Anyone Listening? is a weekly podcast as Cochino travels on his journey of pursuing a career in stand-up comedy; he’s sitting down with his favorite comedians, both “A-List” and on the rise, to discuss their highs, lows, and love for the art.
