This week on The Sadvocate Podcast with Dave & Drew, we welcome BriLynn from Tiger 100.7 and Guaranty Media for a fun conversation about life in radio, country music, live broadcasting, celebrity interviews, working events, and balancing all of it with being a mom.

Dave and Drew ask BriLynn about hot mic moments, on-air mistakes, overplayed country songs, the artists she would choose during a Baton Rouge traffic jam, and whether fixing I-10 could spell the end of radio as we know it.

In the news segment, the guys break down Louisiana’s new law increasing penalties for repeat DWI offenders, a Baton Rouge arrest involving drugs, guns, DWI, and 147 mph driving, the St. Tammany sheriff bar tab controversy, Louisiana’s road rage ranking, insurance rate decreases, and a courthouse escape in West Baton Rouge.

Plus, listener texts are back with reactions to last week’s Chase Tyler interview, requests for more Baton Rouge musicians, and a few very Sadvocate-style questions.
