Pat's Peeps Podcast

Ever wonder if buying a campaign t-shirt could be the reason your phone is inundated with political texts? Join me as I tackle this modern dilemma on the 151st episode of Pat's Peeps Podcast, coinciding with our upcoming one-year anniversary. In this milestone episode, I share my personal experiences with the avalanche of messages as election season heats up and reflect on the peculiar joy of hosting one of America's last local evening radio shows. Get ready for an exciting evening as I recount plans to take a group of listeners out for dinner at Sauced, followed by an unforgettable ELO concert. And who knows? A book may be on the horizon, inspired by your fantastic suggestion, "The Last Radio Man."
In a delightful twist, imagine a world where cats take the wheel! Amidst this playful imagery, we honor the legendary Fernando Valenzuela, revisiting the magic of "Fernandomania" and his lasting impact on the Dodgers. Relive moments from his extraordinary career, including his signature screwball pitch and his triumphant no-hitter game, brought to life through the iconic narration of Vin Scully. We also celebrate scout Mike Brito, who played a pivotal role in Fernando's discovery, as we reminisce about a baseball hero whose legacy continues to captivate fans worldwide. Tune in for a heartfelt tribute that blends humor, nostalgia, and a deep appreciation for a sports icon.
