Bleav in Reds

Bleav in Reds

The back and forth started between the two more than a decade ago in the Cincinnati Reds clubhouse and now former Reds pitcher Sam LeCure and sports anchor Brian Giesenschlag team up for the all new Bleav in Reds podcast! From the home office at Great American Ball Park, LeCure and Giesenschlag offer a fresh, first-hand take on one of the most exciting young teams in baseball. We put LeCure (our minister of culture) on the clock for segments like Five and Dive, and The Stretch. Plus, friends and former teammates join the show for a conversation that can (and likely will) go just about anywhere!
