He is Mr. Carl Nathe, the long-time voice of Commonwealth Stadium/Kroger Field, who plays a vital role in the game-day atmosphere.  But Carl has held many other roles ranging from sports anchoring, to sideline reporting, to university public relations.  Listen in as Carl and I discuss each of these positions, and also hit the high points of this year's state high school basketball tournaments (as covered on the Sweet Sixteen Radio Network by Nathe and his fellow sportscasters).  We'll also hear Carl's advice for those aspiring to pursue careers that involve writing or running the mouth!  Lol.  Sure hope you enjoy the fun, fascination, and food for thought within this week's episode! Find out more at https://blabbin-in-the-bluegrassblabbi.pinecast.co
