Recorded on November 20, 2024, this episode of *The Public Access Podcast* continues Rusty Diamond’s 12-year journey of authentic, engaging conversations. Since its launch on November 15, 2013, with guest Steve Magnuson, Rusty has brought his unique perspective as a former professional wrestler, stand-up comedian, musician, and hypnotist to every episode. Â
Today, Rusty welcomes **Madalaina D’Angelo**, a passionate storyteller and theater artist with a talent for reimagining classic works.
