I just moved to a new city, to start a new job, with new people… And I have no idea what I’m doing. There’s a huge pressure to know exactly what you’re doing and the exact trajectory that your life is on… But it’s completely unrealistic. And with social media, it can be so easy to feel behind people, because everyone else’s life looks so perfect. So I wanted to offer a genuinely transparent look into what a 20 something-year-old’s life in a new city looks like.

Each week, they break down the big games, roast the latest disasters, and somehow still manage to squeeze in actual analysis.But that’s not all! Tune in for What’s Wrigley Watching, the only cat-based podcast trivia game that matters, and stick around for the grand finale of the season—The Shibbies, an award show you didn’t know you needed, but now can’t live without.If you love college football, pop culture references, and the occasional unhinged rant, this is the podcast for you.
