so happy to be your podcast host for today. And I'm really excited to welcome back
somebody that we have had around Tri Delta World before, Caroline Fenton from our
Delta Omega chapter at LSU. She is a sports journalist, currently working for Yahoo
Sports, but we had a chance to get to know Caroline first when she interned, well
when she was in a collegiate chapter for Tri Delta, but then when she interned at
ESPN, so I'm excited to reconnect today. From chapter president for her chapter to
now covering some of the biggest events in sports, including the Super Bowl, which
we're going to talk about, we're We're gonna hear how Tri Delta gave her the
confidence to pursue this big career that she's got and her journey so far. We're
also gonna talk a little bit of sports, which is right up my alley, I love that.
Caroline, welcome to the podcast. - Thank you so much for having me, always down to
talk a little bit of sports and a little bit of Tri Delta. Those are two of my
favorite things in the world, but so happy to be on with you today and finally
able to reconnect after all these years. - Yeah, yeah, well, It's great to see you
again and just to get to hear all the great things that are going on in your
career. I want to take our listeners back to how it all began and how you ended
up at LSU for school. Yes. So I am born and raised in St.
Louis, Missouri and love St. Louis, it is home, but my parents are both from the
state of Tennessee and I have family kind of all around the South. So I knew that
as much as I of St. Louis and as much as I considered at home, I wanted to go
to the South for school and I always had a passion for sports and I kind of
thought that maybe that would be a fun career path to pursue. So I thought, okay,
a school in the South and with big sports, and if I want to pursue sports
journalism, a school that'll give me an opportunity to do that. So I looked around
at schools that, you know, my sister went to South Carolina, my parents went to the
University of Tennessee. I thought I would end up there, a place far away from
home, but still familiar. But then I kind of applied all around just to see what
was out there. And I visited LSU. I didn't know a soul in the state of Louisiana,
never knew a soul in the state of Louisiana before I decided to go to LSU. But I
thought there's just something about it. It's gorgeous. First of all, the culture is
amazing. The people are so incredibly welcoming. And the idea of doing something that
was different, that I could have gone to a place that felt a little bit more
comfortable, had some more familiarity in my family, but I thought I can totally
pave my own path here. And at that point in my life, I was kind of ready to
branch out a little bit. So ultimately I made that decision to do something
different and go to LSU. And that was one of the best decisions I ever made in my
life. And I didn't know anyone there. So I thought the best way to make friends.
Best way to make a 30 ,000 plus person campus feel just a tiny bit smaller was to
go through recruitment. And that's ultimately what led me to Tri Delta. Another one
of the best decisions I've ever made. I love it. I love it. I know all the LSU
Tri Deltas out there like, yes, yes. My girls, my girls. I feel like there's so many
more people these days. I live in California and they're so much more aware of what
that experience is experiences at a Southern school that has sports. So many more
people are making, they just want that more traditional sort of sports college
experience. And they're deciding to go, which feels like it's such a culture shock
when I look at some of the people out here, they're doing that for them, but
they're really enjoying it. So it's interesting to hear you say, that was, you grew
up in St. Louis, but it was a little bit different. You knew what you wanted. And
I love that your family was okay with you choosing a different SEC school. I know
that can get dicey. Oh, they loved it. It was an opportunity for them to come
visit Bat Rouge, which is absolutely beautiful and an excuse for them to get gumbo
and bignets whenever they wanted. So they also fell in love as much as they loved
their own alma mater. They fell in love with LSU because it's hard not to and
because I loved it so much as well. So I also felt very lucky that I had such a
great support system in my family that they were okay with me packing up the U
-Haul and moving 800 miles away from home. So I feel very, very lucky to have that.
Good. Well, tell me a little bit about your Tri Delta experience and how you were
involved there. You were chapter president. So that's clearly an experience unto
itself. Those are not small jobs these days. So tell us a little bit about that.
Yes, not a small job in the slightest, but it was such a wonderful experience all
four years. And obviously that year is a chapter president as well. I joined
Tridelta originally because it was just the place that just felt so easy and
everyone told me that going through recruitment that there's going to be a place
that just feels right it feels easy the conversations flow and I don't think I
really understood that that was a real thing that once I walked into Tridelta I met
so many different types of people different personalities with different backgrounds
from different walks of life from different areas and I thought this is just a
place that I feel so comfortable and I feel so at home. And that doesn't mean that
it doesn't come with some trials and tribulations coming from far away. LSU, there's
a lot of kids that come from Louisiana. So whether you know someone from your high
school or you know someone from camp or just friends of friends, I felt like there
was already kind of a network that was created that I was trying to join. But try
it out to me that's so easy. I never felt like I was kind of on the outside
looking at it, I always felt embraced. I always felt celebrated. Everyone thought it
was so cool that I was from so far away, which I thought it really not from that
far. It's like two states away, but it's not that far. But I always thought that
that was so cool that I, maybe my quote -unquote differences from coming from a
different place and coming from a different hometown, that was something that was so
celebrated in the chapter. And that just encouraged me more and more that built up
my confidence more and more. And it started to feel more like home than a place
that was so far away from home. So early on, I got tapped by some of the older
members to do smaller jobs. And that would be, you know, an out of state
recruitment coordinator for all of the out of state girls in recruitment. That was
something that was, I didn't apply for. That was something that I didn't go out
for. That was something that I was kind of tapped to do, that I was asked if I
could do that and that, that And I was my sophomore year going into my sophomore
year, so my first recruitment. So I thought, wow, that's something that they thought
I would be great at, something that they looked at me and that that would be a
good fit for that. So I think that just kind of grew my confidence more and more
than I became the director of public relations and ran the Tridelta social media
account, kind of established a brand and a voice for that. I loved kind of being
days on between Tridelta and all of our social media channels and that ultimately
brought me to collegiate chapter president. And looking back, going from recruitment
where I didn't know a soul and then now being able to represent the chapter, it
was just the absolute greatest honor. I had the best support system with the rest
of the executive committee and with all of our advisors. I never felt, because it
is like you said, it's a really large job and it's a really large undertaking. And
at that point in your life, at least where I was, I had a heavy class schedule
and I was looking ahead to after graduation and trying to get internships and
applying for jobs. There's a lot on your plate, but I at least felt very lucky
that I never felt like it was too much. I never felt like I had the weight of
the world on my shoulders. I think it was an opportunity for me that I just, I
grew up so much in the best possible way that I understood I am now representing
something as I always have, but now in a larger way, something so much bigger than
myself. I got to learn member stories on a deeper level. I got to connect with so
many more members on a much deeper level. One example that I love to talk about
was when we welcomed in our new member class in the fall of 2019. So that would
have been my last year at LSU. And she came to me and she was an out of state
student as well. She came to me and she said, "I feel so homesick. I feel so out
of place. I don't want to be here anymore. I just feel like this isn't where I'm
supposed to be." Which broke my heart to hear, but I got to talk to her about it.
We talked it through. I said, "Maybe instead of trying to fit in here, how about
you share your home and your life at home with some friends that you've made here?
Maybe invite them home back to where you're from and you can show them your
favorite places from high school and they can meet your family, they can meet your
friends from home and she ultimately ended up staying at LSU. She took that advice,
she brought some some friends home and she said that that really helped. So I think
having that context in the background of me coming from out of state and also being
able to to kind of share that a little bit and make that that place feel a little
bit smaller for other people was a great way and a great opportunity I think that
I could help others while also kind of growing and developing as a professional and
a person myself. - Yeah, I love hearing about your belonging. I mean, that's what it
was. You felt belonging there, you felt like that was your home. And for somebody
who wasn't necessarily from right around there or a Louisiana girl, as you said,
you know, I love hearing that story. So you mentioned earlier, you know,
I thought sports might be an interesting career. - Yeah. - Well, it turns out, I
guess it was. How did you get started and what has that looked like for you?
- Yeah, yeah, so I grew up a sports fan my entire life. Like I said, I'm from St.
Louis, which is a huge, huge sports town, huge baseball town. That was kind of my
first love. The Cardinals got to the World Series in 2006. So I was nine years old
then, and that's when I really started to learn about the sport and went to more
games with my family. And I remember when the Cardinals were in the World Series,
I lined up my dolls and my stuffed animals. I was talking to them about what was
happening during the game 'cause I wanted them to be informed as well. So just kind
of a little bit of a foreshadowing of what I would eventually do for my career. So
that was the early stages, just loving sports and loving storytelling. And So that's
what brought me, one big reason that brought me to LSU was being able to cover LSU
football and LSU baseball and LSU women's basketball, some of the biggest brands in
all of college sports. So at LSU I got involved in Tiger TV, which is the student
run news station. I was a sports reporter and then ended up being sports director
my senior year and got to cover amazing events. I mean I covered LSU football games
almost every Saturday night at home. I got to go to Phoenix to cover LSU in the
Fiesta Bowl. I got to go to Orlando to cover LSU football in the Citrus Bowl. So
I got to go and be like an actual real life reporter. And I interned at some
local stations in Baton Rouge as well, which gave me great experience of what life
is really like in a professional newsroom or also getting that more hands on
experience with Tiger TV. So I think that was one big thing that was emphasized to
me from some people in the business when I was in college was make sure that this
is what you want to do. Because this is a really hard industry. You work weekends,
you work holidays, you work late nights, you work early mornings, and in some
situations, you don't always get compensated very well for it. But that's where I
learned that this is definitely what I want to do, even with the highs and the
lows and some of the not so glamorous parts that may come with this job. I knew
that I really had a passion for it. And so that's how I got my start. Yeah, let's
add to that, you know, a female in a male-dominated industry. I can't imagine all
the different facets there are to what you've been through. Okay, so you start at
ESPN. Yeah. And then what happens? Yes, so I, I applied to so many different jobs
by senior year of college and one piece of advice for any collegiate members
listening to this is apply. Apply everywhere. Apply to the jobs that you feel like
you do not have any business getting. Apply to the jobs you feel like are absolute
dream jobs because that's what I did. When I applied for an internship at ESPN, I
thought there is no way that I can get to ESPN. That is crazy, but I applied
anyways. And ultimately, that's the job that I got. So about a month after I
graduated, packed my stuff up, but I moved up to Bristol, Connecticut, for an
internship with the the Social and Digital Livestream team. So basically, what our
job was was to take existing ESPN shows like College Game Day and Sports Center and
baseball tonight, all of those existing shows on TV and kind of turn them to a
digital show, so a little bit more laid back, a little bit more of a younger
audience. So I had an internship doing that and then ultimately turned that into a
full -time job. So I was with ESPN doing that as a social media producer for about
a year and a half. And that was such an amazing opportunity. I got to travel with
College Game Day. That just so happened to be the year that LSU won the national
championship game. So it was just like-- I got bad timing. - The most perfect, like
the universe winged at me and said, "This is exactly where you need to be." And it
was so amazing because I got to a very unique part of working in digital is
there's no rules. And TV or in more terrestrial forms of media, you have to hit
your brakes. You have certain things and certain parameters that you have to fit
into. In digital, you throw something at the wall. And if it sticks, amazing. And
if it doesn't, that's okay, scrap it, move on from it, learn why it didn't work.
And then, and then try again. So I really loved at ESPN how I really got to kind
of flex that creative muscle. Fun. Okay. And then, is that when you move to Yahoo?
I feel like you moved from ESPN to Yahoo, was that or something else in between?
But I know you're there now. So talk about doing now. I'm a Yahoo now. I actually
had a stop in between. During COVID, I just kind of had a reflective moment,
which I feel like we all probably did when we were stuck in our homes. I had kind
of a reflective moment of, I don't think that this is what I need to be doing
anymore. I just didn't feel so passionate about the work that I was doing anymore.
And I wasn't in love with my life at the time personally and professionally. And I
thought, what am I doing? If I'm not happy, make a change, which was frankly
terrifying to go from ESPN, a place where I was so supported professionally and
financially, and I was able to be at the worldwide leader in sports. I thought it
was crazy that I would voluntarily step away from that, but I thought if I'm not
happy, I need to make a change. And I felt like I wasn't happy because ultimately
my dream, what I always wanted to do, the reason why I went to LSU and got
involved in student media was because I wanted to be on air. That was always my
dream. And I thought if I don't do it now, when am I going to? And if 30,
40 years from now, and I'm looking back on my career, I would question what could
have been? What could I have done? What could have I achieved if I would have gone
for that dream? So I thought I'm going to do it. And so I applied to several
different on -air jobs from TV to more digital roles, to a radio role.
And they're just so happened to be a radio station in Nashville, where a coworker
of mine at ESPN got his start. They were looking for somebody with some expertise
in digital live streaming, which was what I did at ESPN. And I was looking for an
opportunity on air. So it was just kind of the most perfect marriage of I had what
they needed. They could offer what I wanted in my career. So In March of 2021,
I moved from Connecticut to Nashville, and I was on air in Nashville doing sports
talk radio for about three and a half years. For two years, I was in kind of a
sidekick role that grew over those two years, but just kind of learned the business,
learned what it's like to post a radio show because I had zero radio experience.
And then after those two years, I felt like I was ready to take that next step.
And then I hosted my own show for about a year and a half after that. And then I
got a call from my former boss from ESPN and said, I've been following your radio
show, I've been following your work. And obviously, I know you from ESPN know, you
know, your work ethic and the way that you'd go about things. We're looking to
expand our on air host areas and avenues at Yahoo Sports and we think that you
would be a perfect fit. So I came over to Yahoo in June of 2024. So coming up
about seven or eight months now. - I love hearing that trajectory. I think sometimes
those decisions where you're going against the norm, like you said, everybody was
like, you're at ESPN, why would you give that up? But you're going against the
norm, you have your reasons for doing it, but people looking in don't understand it.
I think those are some of the hardest moves to make. - Totally. - As you know, it's
good for you, but it might not appear obvious to everybody on the outside. So, but
obviously you made the good decision. Yes. This sounds like an incredible job.
All the fun things that you get to cover and do tell us a little bit about like
the day to day and what's been the most exciting thing that you've you've been able
to do so far. Oh my gosh. The list is so long and it is such a blast.
It is so much fun. And I've kind of been able to marry those two loves of being
able to be creative and digital but also be on air and be a host. It's kind of
the perfect combination of my previous two stops in my career. So day to day is
different every single day. And I kind of love that, frankly, that I wake up and
might not even know where I'm going to be tomorrow because it might put me on a
flight for something. And it's been so fun. So day to day I host podcasts for
Yahoo Sports. So mainly my main focus is college sports, college football in the
fall. And I'm now focusing in on college basketball now in the spring. So I have a
bi -weekly podcast that I host and then reactions to games. So USC and UCLA are
playing next week on the women's side. So I'll have a reaction to that game and
anything big that happens in the world of sports. A coach gets fired or a player's
out for the year. I'm kind of on air giving my reaction. - The Mavs trade Luka.
- The Mavs trade Luka to Los Angeles. which what in the world are they thinking?
What are they doing? But that was exactly my reaction video that I had to record
for Yahoo is what in the world are they thinking? And then there's all sorts of
other things, which is a blast. I got a call from my boss about a month or so
ago and he asked me, how much do you know about women's soccer? And he said,
frankly, not a lot, but I'll learn. He said, okay, great. I need you on a flight
to LA in four days. And I have 30 interviews set up for you with NWSL players,
one on one interviews. And so I was like, okay, wonderful, let's research everything
that there is to possibly know about the NWSL. And I'm so glad that I did because
I've fallen in love with this league getting to talk to the players and learn about
their backgrounds, learn how they got there, how much the league is booming. So that
was a wonderful experience. I'll be going to Los Angeles in a couple of weeks to
record a selection Sunday reaction and then I'll be heading to the women's final
four in Tampa at the end of March. I was just at the Super Bowl in New Orleans a
few weeks ago, which was an amazing experience. I got to interview Joe Burrow and
Aaron Jones, the running back for the Minnesota Vikings, Jordan Love, the quarterback
for the Green Bay Packers. I got to interview Keegan -Michael Key, the comedian,
which was so much fun. We just had a laundry list of athletes and celebrities that
we got to sit down with. So going to the Super Bowl was my very first Super Bowl
experience. And you know, it was crazy. Full environment. It's got to be almost
circus -like. It is. It is. The game is like the minor player, and the game
happens, but there's so much going on around it with celebrities and artists and,
I mean, just people showing up to do things around it, that brands probably
launching things. - Oh my gosh. - I mean, imagine how you're navigating what to even
cover when you're there. - It's a lot, frankly, but it's also so much fun. You
know, I always tell myself whenever I'm getting overwhelmed or whenever I was
overwhelmed in New Orleans in the Super Bowl, I kept reminding myself, like, hello,
you're in the Super Bowl, you're covering the Super Bowl. Like, it's okay, take the
overwhelming feelings as they come and just remind yourself like this is what you
want this is the Super Bowl. Hello. And so I definitely had to pinch myself a few
times, you know, walking down the street and running into different athletes or
different journalists and sports broadcasters that I've looked up to forever. And now
we're just, you know, bumping elbows at the Super Bowl. And it was crazy. Like they
call it media row throughout the week. So I was at New Orleans at media row for
the week getting up to the game and bounty paper towels had this massive like at
home like they built a home in the New Orleans convention center and they were
giving out wings and there were all these structures that brands were sponsoring and
you could come by and try their products it was truly an experience unlike any
other it was it was truly the super bowl of media events. Yeah, it's funny. It's
fun to hear you talk with. I think sometimes when you have a love and then you go
into work in that business that you love, you see a different side of it and it
can get you can get jaded. It's fun to see your spirit still strong around sports
and what you're doing, even though you're working in it. It is something that, you
know, everyone says they want to work in or so many people say that they they They
want to work in sports, they want to do sports. And I always encourage people to
do that, but I always remind people, we are having fun. We're not saving lives.
I respect the people that do, but frankly, I don't have the nerves of steel for
that. You know, we're not, you know, we're not doing cancer research. We're not
saving lives. We're having fun. We're talking about a sport. We're talking about, you
know, a business of things that truly this is supposed to be fun. were creating
content for people to kind of escape from the craziness of the world and the
craziness of everyday lives. And it's difficult, I won't lie. There are days that I
have to remind myself that I'm in this because I love it and I'm in this because
this has always been my dream. I think the biggest crossroads for me came early in
my career in Nashville Radio. I was the very first female on air voice at the
radio station that I worked for, which I was incredibly honored. That was a title
that I was very honored to have. But it came with a lot of challenges because
frankly, there are a lot of people that don't believe that me or other women or
maybe people that don't look like the traditional sports broadcaster aren't qualified
to be there, shouldn't be there, don't deserve to be there. Get the comments all
the time of what do you know you never played the sport or, you know, her husband
is just telling her to regurgitate these things, or she's not smart enough to do
this on and on and on. You name it, I've heard it, I've been tweeted it, I've
been called in on the radio. And in the beginning that was really, really hard on
me. I started to believe the things that people were telling me. But then I told
myself, I've worked my butt off to do this. Like I have worked so hard to be in
not going to let some, you know, Titan fan one, two, three on Twitter, tell me
that I'm something that I know that I'm not. I always reminded myself that line
from Legally Blonde when she's, you know, crying in the salon saying she's quitting
law school and she had a law professor say, if you're gonna let one stupid man,
you know, tell you what you can't do then you are not the girl that I thought you
were. And I always kind of reminded myself of that. There are people out there that
are going to try and kick me down. There are going to be people out there that
have opinions, but those opinions don't matter because those people don't care about
me or my career or my trajectory. The only people whose opinions matter to me are
my family, my bosses, my coworkers, my mentors, the people who genuinely care about
my success. So I've kind of reminded myself of that and it's something I have to
practice every single day, something I have to remind myself of every single day,
but you learn and you grow and that confidence comes with it. I think that's great
advice for all of us out here trying to make it. However, we're trying to make it.
Are there any lessons or pieces of Tri Delta that you still carry with you today,
things that you learned there, skills you picked up there that you feel like
prepared you for today or you still are leaning on today? so, so many. And that's
always what I tell people whenever, you know, young girls, if it's my friends,
little sisters, or cousins, or anyone in my life that's going into college, and they
ask me if that if Greek life is something that they should do, I always say, Well,
if you're interested, do it, go through it, you know, see if you if it's for you.
But I always tell them that it's not a four year thing that you do. And it's not
just really fun parties and recruitment. Those things are very fun. But I said, I
still I'm shaped by Tri Delta that my experience in Greek life, absolutely shaped
the person that I am now. And part of that one big area of that is, is
confidence. You know, I mentioned how I was kind of tapped to do certain things
early on in my in my try Delta tenure. And I think that showed me that these
girls, these people that I think are the coolest people in the world, the people
that I look up to, people that I want to be friends with, they think I'm good,
they think that I would be good at this me. Then I started to believe it myself.
So that kind of foundation of my confidence grew more and more and more, the more
responsibilities that I had, and the more opportunities that Tridel to give me, I've
carried that so much more into my adult life. Bravery and boldness are always things
that that stick with me a lot. It's not easy to, you know, get up on a microphone
and talk about a football game. And that's in my role, but it's the same thing in
a boardroom. It's not easy to stand up in a meeting and give your opinion or to
say something that isn't right in a conversation with a friend or in the workplace
or whatever it might be to say, Hey, what I think you're doing isn't right, isn't
nice, isn't good, so on and so forth. None of those things are easy. That takes a
lot of confidence and that takes a lot of bravery, but those are the things that
are going to catapult you in your friendships and your any relationships in your
career. The ability to speak up for yourself and to stand up for yourself and to
stand up for other people who may not be able to stand up for themselves takes
bravery takes boldness and it takes a lot of kindness best advice I could give
someone is work hard and be nice to people. I think that's a lot of principles
that I learned in Tridelta. It's not just about grinding and being the best out
there because absolutely that's what you should strive to be, but always be nice to
people. Not just the people that can advance you in your career, but also the
people that look up to you. Also, maybe the people who are, quote unquote, below
you on an organizational chart. Just a smile, a thank you, a how are you, how can
I help you to anyone that goes such a long way and all of those things I think
are principles that we should all have throughout the entirety of our lives but
definitely are some some core principles that really hit home for me in Tridelta.
Yeah I love hearing Matt how that plays out for you still. You're just full of
such great advice I think for everybody today. Thank you. What is Tridelta look like
in your life today? Are you still in touch with sisters? How does it how does it
play out in your life now? Yeah absolutely still in touch with sisters. I got
engaged last month, so I'm planning my wedding and my bridesmaids, four of the six
of them, two that are my sister and my fiance's sister. The other four are all
Tridelta's, all friends that I made, whether it was on bid day or throughout my
Tridelta experience. I'm the maid of honor in one of my best friend's weddings next
month and I met her through Tridelta and I'm still in touch with so many of my
best friends that all came from Tridelta and even friends that I may not stay in
contact with every day, but will always have that background and that foundation of
friendship from Tridelta. And if they ever came calling of, hey, I'm moving to town
or I'm coming to town or hey, I need something I need you would always be there
for them. And I know that they would always be the same for me. So those
relationships, those friendships, whether it's your best best friend in the world or
if it's, you It's the girl to member classes ahead of you that lives in a city
that you're moving to and you just need some advice of where to live. Those
relationships absolutely have been integral in not just my college life,
my adult life. And like I said, I originally went through recruitment to make a
campus feel so much smaller. I can attest that once you graduate and go into the
adult world, it's scary. But having tried outside, having those friendships also makes
this big world feel just a little bit smaller. - Yeah, I love that. And it does,
it's a lifetime. It does not go to college. - It is. - It is truly for a lifetime.
What, your job takes a lot of time, I assume. - Yeah. - What do you do for fun?
- Yeah, I love to travel. I live in Nashville, but I'm actually in Phoenix right
now. Just looking for wedding venues, but also just kind of exploring, hiking around
the desert, exploring new areas of the city that I haven't seen before. I got to
go to Europe actually with one of my best friends from Tridelta. This past summer
is my first trip to Europe, so that was amazing. So any chance I can get to
travel, whether it's a new town near Nashville, it's just an hour and a half away,
or if it's halfway across the world, any chance I can get a free time from work,
and a couple extra monies here and there. I always love to travel. I'm a huge
yogi. I love yoga and bar and Pilates anytime I can. You know, just step away from
the computer and just have some time of movement. It's so important. I'm also a
foster, a dog foster. So I actually, I'm gone now, but whenever I go back home,
I have a sweet foster baby named CeCe. So if you're in the Nashville area and
you're in the market for a new dog, she's precious. But I love to foster dogs. I,
my work schedule is just a little bit too demanding to have a dog of my own right
now. So it's so nice to be able to open it up to a sweet little pup that needs
some loving. That's a great way to do it. I love that. Yeah, it's class. What is
next for you? What's coming up for Caroline? Yes. Yes. So we are looking ahead to the
NCAA tournament. So we'll have a ton of March Madness coverage. I'll be in Los
Angeles at Yahoo's headquarters doing some shows there. I'll be heading to Tampa for
the women's final four at the end of the month. So that's kind of next up on the
agenda. Once we get through March, then maybe we can breathe a little bit. I told
myself once we got through football season, I'd be able to breathe a little bit.
And then they were like, "Haha, nope."
There's always a next thing. There's always something else. So yeah, that's in the
short term. And then looking ahead over the next year or so, just more and more
college football coverage. So we'll be expanding Our podcast will be traveling a
little bit more going to more games on site. So very, very excited for that. I
love that. Well, I'd love to let our listeners know how they can find you and
follow you and keep up with what you're doing. So yeah, absolutely. You can find me
