About GRINDTIME.
Grind Time with Darren McCarty is exactly that. This is about Darren’s world. The good, the bad, and the ugly. We have interviews with people Mac has come across over the years, things Mac is interested in and people he knows that he thinks you should know too. If it’s hockey season, we’re probably talking hockey, but we also discuss movies, music, golf, NASCAR, life’s ups, and it’s downs, because Mac has lived them all.
