  • 43: The Ryan Baker Experience

    This episode has been sitting on the back burner for a few weeks now but features the return of Ryan Baker to the show. We took the time to catch up and chat about life, the struggle of the recent college grad, and a few other lighter topics along the way. Ryan had a lot to say which made editing the show a little tougher, but hopefully you enjoy #RobTakesOn the Ryan Baker Experience.

  • 42: Sports? As Told By Andrew Gillis

    As we get back into the swing of things and the world continues to reach a sense of normalcy again, I felt it appropriate to bring on Andrew Gillis of NBC Sports Washington. We talk everything from what it's like covering sports in a pandemic to how he got to the desk...or home office, that he's in now. 25 years and a job with no job security will change a man, and Andrew is chalk full of wisdom throughout this weeks episode of #RobTakesOn Sports? as told by Andrew Gillis. 


    You can find Andrews work on NBCSportsWashington.com or on Twitter @Andrew_Gillis70.

  • 40: Midterms and other Podcast Updates

    Welcome...back...? I guess to #RobTakesOn. After Covid-19 shut the world down, pretty much any plans for this show went out the window. This week I'm back to talk a little bit about my grad school experience, announce a new co-host, and talk about the future of RobTakesOn and whatever that may hold.

  • 39: Tough Conversations

    This week I got to sit across the table from a friend whom I have incredible respect for. Lauren and I talked a little bit about life after college and a world without RA's before getting into some tough conversations about racism in our communities as well as on a grander level. It became very clear to us throughout our hour together that this is a very layered issue that has more questions and problems than it has answers and solutions. 

    This episode certainly does not fix racism in America, but tough conversations are a good start.

    I'm back, like I never left...except I definitely did. Sorry about that. This week we (I) talk about where I went and why I went there and we chat about the things that happened in my absence.

  • 35: A Summer at Harbor Park

    This summer I spent more time at Harbor Park watching baseball than I did pretty much anywhere else. My guest, Carter Evans, and I took on an 18 game pass with the intention of seeing some high quality baseball. While we didn't get to see too many days or nights of high quality ball, the times were always good. Tune in this week as Carter and I reminisce on our Summer at Harbor Park.
