The Tailgate Connect® Podcast
Here at Tailgate Connect®, tailgating is what we do and we want to share that with the world. We’re passionate about fandom and celebrating that fandom with other fans, even if it’s fans of the opposing team; bringing people together to celebrate and party is what tailgating is all about. It’s something we get to see firsthand every week across 50+ locations and something we think is getting lost in the shuffle of NIL deals and the further commercialization of college sports. With The Tailgate Connect® Podcast we want to shine a light on the stories and people that exemplify that sense of community week in and week out. Whether it’s an interview with a legendary tailgating figure or one of our awesome hosts, a story about tailgates myths gone by, or just our team breaking down what the season looks like from inside the TGC machine, The Tailgate Connect® Podcast is your newest source for everything CFB and tailgating.
