From the Sidelines to the Seats is a sports podcast focused on football, perspective, and thoughtful conversation. Hosted by a father and son, the show brings together two viewpoints: one shaped by decades of experience as a sports journalist — with a foundation in high school sports and a people-first approach — and the other shaped by fandom, knowledge of the game, and honest reactions from the stands. Each episode grows out of real conversations that happen while watching games.
