Tom Talks

A quick rambling about why this podcast went away, my audio documentary that will likely never be heard, my job search, and vague conversation about what's next.

On a special edition of TOM Talks, Tom rolls out his inaugural "Meet A Tom Carroll" segment with the legend himself: Santa Tom (2:04). Santa Tom talks about what life is like living as a Santa Claus, from be recognized in public, to the Santa-confederations he belongs to, to the Santa oath he lives by. Tom is then joined for #PatsChat by Butch Stearns of FOX25 Boston (25:32). Song of the Week: "Linus & Lucy" by Vince Guaraldi Trio (40:36).

On this week’s TOM Talks, Tom is joined by Woody Paige, legendary Around the Horn panelist and columnist for The Colorado Springs Gazette. Woody talks about how he ended up on Around the Horn (02:22), his time working with Skip Bayless on Cold Pizza/1st & 10 in New York (16:32), watching The Apprentice with President-elect Donald Trump (36:39), the evolution of Around the Horn (55:41), and much more. Tom then talks briefly to Phil Perry of Comcast SportsNet New England for this week’s #PatsChat, but their conversation is cut short by the breaking news of the Patriots signing Michael Floyd, formerly of the Arizona Cardinals (1:14:10). This week’s episode closes out with a tribute by Woody Paige to Craig Sager, who passed away after a long battle with cancer at the age of 65 (1:20:18). Song of the Week: “Never Ending” by Rihanna (1:26:16).
