Hello and welcome to the Grab a Drink with Cat Garcia podcast! Join me as I sit down with a variety of your favorite media members, journalists, radio personalities, authors, storytellers, former colleagues — and of course, most of your favorite sportswriters -- for honest, insightful and often hilariously candid conversations over a stiff one. Some of my favorite things about the media and news industry have always been hearing the advice, stories, and anecdotes that have been swapped over beers and drinks with all sorts of incredible people at our favorite local watering holes. My hope is to recreate those experiences and moments that I so often wish our audiences were there for, and bring them to you in a podcast! So pour a tall one or grab a coffee and join us! Podcast published weekly on Tuesdays.
