Boston-Virginia, what's the difference? After I've experienced hosting sports talk in these two markets, we discuss the dissimilarities. The good and bad of both regions and how it affects the presentation of a show. Enjoy!

We debut a new format for the podcast, as we add a co-host! Executive Producer of "The Nick Cattles Show", Matt Stenberg, rides shotgun. We discuss how tough it was to approach difficult content on the show this week, one of the most embarrassing moments in the work building since my return and hummus!

My take on what in the world is a hot take and what has it done to the radio business? What I try to do to make sure I'm not suffering from "hot take disease" and how listeners play a role in the culture, even though they don't want to admit it. Enjoy!

I take a look at listeners who tell us to "Stick to sports" and why, at times, that's unrealistic. I also disagree with the notion that sports radio has spent a lot of time on "politics". Also, if you ever want to know what goes into our approach regarding what to talk about and more, this is the podcast for you. Enjoy!

In episode 2 of "Cattles Uncut" I explain how I began in the world of radio, left, only to return and end up hosting afternoon drive. I also hit NBA free agency and the draft, working with Adam Jones at 98.5 The Sports Hub and a few other things.

In Episode 1 of "Cattles Uncut" I take you inside one of the toughest career decisions I've ever made.
