    Oct 14 2026
    In this episode of The Spin Chicks podcast, Michelle and Erika sit down with Blain Fowler, a longtime college athletics communications pro turned gymnastics gym owner and coach.

We talk about how he went from press row to the gym, what a communications background teaches you about running a business, and what it’s like to coach your own kids.

    Kris DeBlasio: The Duck-Billed Platypus of Sports and Comedy
    Sep 16 2026
    In this episode of The Spin Chicks podcast, we sit down with Kris DeBlasio - a self-described "duck-billed platypus in a world full of common house cats." Kris spent a decade as a video coordinator at two SEC schools before trading the film room for a life of creative reinvention: 10 years of stand-up comedy, songwriting, an internet game show, screenwriting, and his new YouTube channel, the 1 Minute Movie Review Podcast. These days he's shaping young minds as a middle school teacher and coaching high school football and basketball. We talk about life inside and after college athletics, chasing creative passions, and yes, we settle the great Doritos debate once and for all.

  • Stephen Garcia: From Gamecock QB Legend to Cancer Warrior

    Stephen Garcia: From Gamecock QB Legend to Cancer Warrior
    Aug 21 2026
    In this episode of The Spin Chicks podcast, we sit down with Stephen Garcia. He’s a Tampa native, one of the most prolific quarterbacks in South Carolina history, and the man who led the Gamecocks to the 2010 SEC East title under Steve Spurrier. But this conversation goes far beyond football. In 2026, after months of brushing off symptoms, Stephen was diagnosed with Stage IV colorectal cancer. Now in treatment at Moffitt Cancer Center, he's turned his fight into a mission with the Quarterback Your Health Foundation expanding access to life-saving screenings across Tampa Bay. We talk about his playing days, the diagnosis that changed everything, the wife who pushed him to get checked, and the message he wants every listener to hear: listen to your body, set your pride aside, and get checked.
