Turn The Page – Episode 149A – Don Saladino

Don Saladino grew up right here on Long Island and has moved mountains with his career as a personal trainer to the superheroes. Of course, by this we mean that Don has worked with actors such as Sebastian Stan, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, and so many others to prepare them for film in popular film franchises such as Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Saladino spoke to us about everyday heroes and his very relatable attitude towards fitness and nutrition.

The Musical”. We’re just kidding. Well, MAYBE we are.

Stacey got to talk to May Cobb, author of the delightfully devious book The Hunting Wives, a book that’s been blurbed by basically every one of our favorite authors of twisted fiction.
