Nion Radio With Nick Onken

"It’s not about how quick the story is, it’s about how fun and entertaining the story is." We all know the magic of great storytelling - it draws you in, wraps you up, leaves you hanging on every word.

Alex Banayan has made it a goal to become a great storyteller, and I’d say he succeeded. For example, the first half of our interview is the story of his experience on The Price is Right and it is so entertaining, hilarious, and relatable. But it’s all about why Alex went on the show.
