Atlanta's Own: An Atlanta Sports Podcast
Atlanta's Own is an Atlanta Sports Podcast dedicated to discussing all things related to the Falcons, Braves and Hawks. We are starting to sprinkle a little Atlanta United in as well. The show is hosted by two Atlanta natives who are diehard, life long pro Atlanta sports fans who want to share the love and pain of being an Atlanta sports fan with as many people as possible. Each episode covers the weekly news for the professional teams as well as opinions and insight of these stories. Our topic of the week segment is more of a roundtable discussion about a particular issue, opinion or idea pertaining to one of the teams or Atlanta sports as a whole. The show started in March of 2017 and we hope it can grow into a must listen experience for all fans of our Atlanta teams. The show contains some vulgarity as being an Atlanta sports fan has made us cynical and bitter at times.

This episode is very NSFW with an early season profanity laced rant from Graham about the fundamentals of baseball. Some would argue he went too far, but our users can be the judge of this. We dive into what has been tough start for a majority of the Braves not named Ronald Acuna, Pablo Sandoval or Luke Jackson (lol). Hawks talk focuses on the how impressive the team has been even without Trae Young and Nate McMillan's future with the Team. Atlanta United is mentioned in passing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Meanwhile, the Hawks can't lose under Nate McMillian and Nathan Knight is a name you need to start remembering.
