Dropping a late surprise podcast on your device as Episode 234 has not one, but TWO special guests.

Joining me to discuss the excitement and euphoria are two diehard Cincinnati Bengals fans as they’re set to kick off the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. First up, is young podcaster Jai Shields. (5:39) This is his second appearance on the pod (for more about Jai, check out Episode 145 in the archives) as he shares his thoughts of witnessing his first ever Bengal playoff win, his recollection of the very first playoff game at the age of seven and what are the keys to the Bengals advancing to the AFC Championship Game?

Next up, is my longtime friend and former resident of the Queen City, Risa Saslow, (50:31) as she delves into an interesting story about her birthday and Super Bowl XXIII, being a long suffering fan and what her expectations are in the second round vs. the Titans? What better way than to have two perspectives from opposite ends of the spectrum as they detail what it’s like to root for a team that’ s been down for so long, that’s now on the rise in the NFL.

Another mid week podcast means another special guest.

Joining me on Episode 145 is an aspiring broadcaster who is already making his mark by being a contributor to one of the nations top sports talk shows. Jai Shields (a.k.a. Jai from Baltimore) is a frequent caller to Mad Dog Unleashed, hosted by legendary host Christopher ‘Mad Dog’ Russo. Now, you’ll get to hear what this young man is all about as he embarks on his quest to become a play-by-play announcer. Mind you, he just turned 18 years old. That’s not a typo! Jai and I discuss his development as a sports fan, his passion for sports, his biggest influences, his ‘relationship’ with Mad Dog Russo and we even tackle how he carries himself in light of racial unrest, police brutality and social injustices throughout our country. This was a great exchange with a bright young mind with lots of potential and a ‘sky’s the limit’ future.
