Podsauce attended the Audacy Beach Festival in December 2021 and interviewed some guests backstage in Fort Lauderdale, Florida before checking out the music lineup with artists like AJR and Steve Aoki. On this episode, hosts Alesha and Dax chatted with Travis Wingfield from the sports podcast “Drive Time with Travis Wingfield.” Travis shared his passion for sports, Breaking Bad, how he honed his writing skills on Miami Dolphins internet forums, and his favorite comedy podcasts.

This week, Alesha shared she loves the show Ted Lasso. Star of the show, Brett Goldstein, has an interview podcast called “Films to Be Buried with with Brett Goldstein,” recommended in Podsauce’s Sneaky Celebrity Podcast segment.

Dax’s pick is “Rate Your Pain! ER Nursing Stories,” a podcast hosted by ER nurses in Oklahoma sharing gross and fascinating stories from their perspective. Dax listened to the “Use the Rear Entrance” and “This is Making Me Itch” episodes, and you’ll also learn some medical terms while being mildly horrified by these true stories.

Travis loves curating the music playlists that play throughout the episodes, and Alesha was a fan of his selections.
