Games & Grub

Viral sensation, New York sports radio personality, and Aidan's former boss Shaun Morash joins Games & Grub for the second time since 2020. Aidan and "Mraz" discuss his Ring camera video that has over 2 million views to date, his dad's backyard bar, Aidan's work as an intern, the rise of seltzer and new alcohol, football food trends including new dips and pizzas, and much, much more.

Editor-at-Large of The Ringer, Bryan Curtis, joins Aidan Hatton for an insightful conversation of the intersection of media and sports. Having covered everything from politics to sports to media, Bryan shares how Jerry Jones made his Dallas Cowboys "America's Team," why Draymond Green will change the game in the future, and what it's like to work for Bill Simmons.  Aidan and Bryan also cover the importance of TV ratings, his favorite guest on "The Press Box" podcast, and much, much more.

Earning two different #1 rankings in the Midwest (by SPJ and WBA) this year, "Milwaukee Coffee: Reimagine Brew City" is Aidan's spinoff podcast based on the success of coffee talk on "Games & Grub." In this epilogue episode of "Milwaukee Coffee," originally released May 2021, Aidan visits 10 executives of local coffee shops around each corner of the city, attempting to tell the story of each brand, Milwaukee's national perception, and societal issues that come to light through the city's coffee space. Happy National Coffee Day, and celebrate by reimagining "Brew City." The term extends beyond beer.
