Listen "Jeff Jarnagin"
Episode Synopsis
A conversation with Jeff Jarnagin, a veteran performer at Amarillo Little Theatre and the social media manager for Brick & Elm Magazine. Jarnagin grew up in Wildorado and spent 17 years on staff at ALT before moving to Los Angeles at the age of 40 to pursue an acting career. After two years in Hollywood, he began feeling "off," and returned to Amarillo to a cancer diagnosis. Since then, Jeff has endured testicular cancer, kidney failure and dialysis, and finally, a successful kidney transplant that stemmed from a local tragedy. He tells his story to host Jason Boyett, and explains how the memory of Emerson—his kidney donor—continues to shape his life. This episode is supported by Storybridge, SKP Creative, the Amarillo Tribune, and Panhandle Plains Historical Museum.
