Welcome editor, feature writer, newswriter, and sportsbook author Ralph Hickok to In-Focus Podcast Number 46. There have been thirty episodes since Ralph's first visit on In-Focus Podcast Number 16.

In 1973, he became the copy chief at Southeastern Advertising Agency (SEA) in downtown New Bedford. Travel/tourism was a major focus of SEA.  Ralph wrote many of ads, brochures, and other materials for the New Bedford Whaling Museum, Battleship Cove, the City of New Bedford, and Bristol County.

He is also a sports historian who has written a number of books about sports history and biography including the Vagabond Halfback The Saga of Johnny Blood McNally  Listen in on his conversation as The Artist Index’s host, Ron Fortier delves more into Ralph’s memories of the Cape Verdean and intertwined Jazz music scene of days gone by!
