Podcasts have become a huge industry, especially since Joe Rogan inked a $100 million Spotify contract to distribute the comedianâs free-ranging interviews with a broad tableau of scientists, philosophers, martial artists and other fascinating characters. Lots of people are getting into the game, and Andy Parker, 68, is one of them. The Collinsville resident might be best known as a gun-control warrior, a cause he jumped into after his daughter, Alison, a Roanoke journalist, was gunned down by a demented former co-worker in 2015. But Parkerâs also earned a living as an actor, a corporate headhunter, a salesman, a politician and a COVID case investigator.
