Today we are launching a new Blister Podcast special series, called, 'Off the Clock.’ And fittingly, given that the England Patriots are in the Super Bowl this Sunday, we are kicking things off with former New England Patriots quarterback, Drew Bledsoe. But what you might not know about this former #1 pick in the NFL draft is that his first love wasn’t football, it was skiing. And today, you’ll hear just how meaningful skiing has been to Drew throughout his entire life.

Note: We Want to Hear From You!

We’d love for you to share with us the stories or topics you’d like us to cover next month on Reviewing the News; ask your most pressing mountain town advice questions, or offer your hot takes for us to rate. You can email those to us here.
