Top Menendez Media Picks

 

I’ve done lots of interviews over the years.

They were all good interviews, but most of the videos got edited down from hours worth of footage to a few seconds here and there. So frustrating!

Here are some of the most recent, available interviews.

My list of Hazel’s Top Menendez Media Picks includes some things that did not involve me, and also excludes many of my own not-favorite interviews.

One of these days maybe I’ll add in more 1990’s items, most of which are not available on the internet.

More: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok

Radio
