On this episode of Talking Buffalo, it's the fourth annual podcaster's roundtable as Patrick Moran is joined by three of the most prominent podcasters in the Buffalo Bills sphere, Joe Marino, Bruce Nolan and Greg Tompsett for a conversation about podcasting, life and pretty much everything with the exception for the Bills.

For a fourth consecutive year Patrick has rounded up Marino (Locked on Bills), Nolan (Bruce Exclusive) and Tompsett (Cover 1) to offer insight to other podcasters, aspiring podcasters and fans of the work they do. Among the topic discussed are people in sports and the media that have most influenced them and their work, being able remaining objective in their coverage despite openly being a fan of the team they cover and balancing friendships vs competition in a saturated content creator market.

They also talk about often refraining talking political issues on social media, avoiding being hot take machines and dream guests they'd love to have on their respective shows. That plus a different type of podcast they'd love to start and much more.

Happy Independence Day, everyone! On this holiday episode of Talking Buffalo, it's another edition of The Podbag featuring Buffalo Bills and Sabres submissions in addition to reaction to yesterday's memorable episode.

On yesterday's Talking Buffalo Patrick welcomed Chris "Bulldog" Parker and his son, Owen for a conversation on many topics, including Owen's youth hockey career and sports parenting. It was a fascination that turned emotional a few times, drawing incredibly positive reactions from listeners and in fact, became the most downloaded episode of Talking Buffalo in the first 24 hours of any episode ever. Patrick spends some time at the top reacting to some of the things the three of them touched on and offers some further insight of his own, again with the purpose of hopefully bringing some value to anyone out there who's a parent that has a children playing sports. There's a lot to learn from, both the good and from some of the mistakes that get made.

The second half of the show is about the Podbag, where listeners submit their questions, comments and takes for Patrick to read off on the air and react to. Today's batch includes the never ending frustration of Sabres fans, someone who thinks Kevyn Adams is literally the worst GM in franchise history, Josh Allen's burning desire that'll last until he wins a Super Bowl and if the Bills are kind of "stuck" with DaQuan Jones for another season. That, plus Matt Warren is really tall and much more. Enjoy the Holiday weekend!

On this special episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by one of Buffalo's most popular sports media figures, Chris "Bulldog" Parker (WGR-550) as well as his son, Owen for a conversation about sports and life recorded live from Sonny Red's in Lackawanna.

Schopp and the Bulldog has been Buffalo sports talk radio's most listened to tandem since the two got together more than 20 years agon in 2003. Patrick asks Bulldog some questions about his career that didn't start out full time----Bulldog actually worked at a pizzeria before getting into radio full time. They also spend a good chunk about being dads or more specifically, what life was like as sports dads to talented young athletes, all the highs and lows that come with it and perhaps some advice for parents of younger children now.

To assist in that conversation, Owen offers tremendous insight as a promising teen athlete not long ago.

Of course, there's plenty of Sabres and Bills talk and the guys hit on both. Bulldog talks about erasing the false narrative that his radio station isn't objectively critical of the sports teams and especially the Sabres. In the case of the Sabres it's entirely deserved and the guys dig into a few of the reasons why. On the Bills side it's optimism all the way around as we're just under three weeks from the start of training camp. What are some of the things Bulldog's most locked in on? That and plenty more.
