My name is John, I’m 42 years old, husband, father, owner of Hoppin Hot Sauce, KFJC radio DJ, podcaster and I have multiple sclerosis (MS). I made this podcast to share what I’m going through.
What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast mission statement
I created the What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast to give myself a support mechanism to deal with the pressure of having multiple sclerosis, becoming a father, and embarking on a business venture. Episodes are released weekly and run about thirty minutes.

- Welcome to “Multiplex and Talent Show” on the What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast This week, I used my wheelchair to go to the multiplex in Dublin and the talent show in the auditorium at my children's elementary school.

Podcast In this mini-episode, we check out a new candidate for the theme song for Season 8, a song called "Lotion", because it's a smooth song, smooth like lotion is.

- Welcome to “Concert At Yoshi's” on the What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast I went to see a jazz concert at Yoshi's in my wheelchair, and it was pretty easy, for a change.
