Bio
Thom Duffy
Wayne Robins has unparalleled knowledge of popular culture and the entertainment business, as well as topics ranging from food to the digital struggles of the newspaper industry. That knowledge is matched by an exceptional ability to analyze, communicate and teach what he knows. Long before I knew Wayne as a fellow journalist, I read his music journalism at Newsday. So I proudly count myself among Wayne’s first
Barry Jeckell
