Hi everyone, Luke Slabaugh here, announcing the launch of “Raw Tools,” my new podcast for Studio Soapbox. That’s a super vague name for a podcast, right? I come from a sports journalism background and raw tools are what a scout sees in a potential prospect – football, basketball, baseball, checkers, you name it. Some of the best athletes started out with raw tools, but unlimited potential – a lot like me before I discovered the Popeye’s chicken sandwich. That’s not an endorsement. Join me every Tuesday, where I’ll bring on a diverse and entertaining set of guests from all over the country, as we talk about sports, pop culture, headlines, philosophy…whatever it is that’s on our minds. While yeah, I’ve got a lot of friends in the sports world, we won’t put ourselves in a box when it comes to guests or topics for discussion.
