In a special collaboration with Gunnison Sports Talk Radio I decided to put this out on both the Gunnison Sports Talk Radio SoundCloud page and this feed as well. Over the last three years I have been grateful for the opportunity to realize and practice my passion which is sports radio. I wouldn't have been able to do this without Christian Saez who was gracious enough to add me to his original Gunnison Sports Talk team and live broadcasts. This is something I want to do for the rest of my life and I wouldn't be able to do that without a start. For those who have done the show with me for the last three years thank you: Rev, Tyler, Jordan, and Dom you have grown my own knowledge and perspective on sports and good luck to those going back to Western for Football. For this episode my brother Dom fills in with me to talk NFL free agency and draft predictions, then how we think each league will bounce back from the virus pause.  Follow the podcast on twitter @COAPOD73, follow my personal twitter @JImmyPallotto.

Center of Attention Bonus: Final Episode of Gunnison Sports Talk Radio

This week's episode, as it stands now, could be the last one ever recorded in Gunnison which would be sad but we definitely made the most of it if that is the case. It's another episode featuring my best friends Dan and Kyle but we went for broke and had seven people on this week, which by the way was made possible through our new microphone the Yeti blue stereo microphone with the four different directional pick up patterns. This was another episode where alcohol was involved but yours truly was not drinking during lent so hopefully it stays a little more on the rails and coherent. This weeks guests are Dan, Kyle, Dana (member of our Residence life staff), Aaron (also a member of our Residence life staff), Bentley (Dan's girlfriend), and Hadley (member of our friend group and was on her second date with Kyle) hence the title. We had a lot of fun and played Never have I ever, which I think could be the first time that was played over a podcast. I hope it isn't the last time we all get to be in the same space but if it was I'm glad they all wanted it to be on the podcast and helped me out in that way. Follow Dan on Instagram @danielcunningham06 Follow Dana on Instagram @lionheart394 Follow Hadley on Instagram @hadley_murphy, and twitter @HadToMurph Follow Aaron on Instagram @aaron_ag_anguiano Follow Bentley on Instagram @bentleyschmidt and you can find Kyle on snapchat @JonnyMountains Follow me on Instagram @proud_wop, twitter @JimmyPallotto, and follow the podcast twitter @COAPOD73 This podcast is made possible through anchor if you want to start your own podcast go to anchor.fm/new Thanks for being the Center of Attention --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/center-of-attention/support

Center of Attention Episode 15: Protein Shakes and Second Dates

This week's episode of Center of Attention is a little more focussed than some have been in the past. When we recorded it UFC 248 hadn't taken place yet, and being that my guest shares nationalities with UFC Middlewight Champion Israel Adesanya, also being that he is the most knowledgeable person in the Gunnison Valley when it comes to fighting, I sat down with Rev "The Problem" Koka and geeked out over MMA for an hour and a half. Rev and I first met when I came to Western as a Freshman when he was a Sophomore on the offensive line and we have bonded over our mutual love of MMA and wrestling, and her is now one of the co-hosts of Gunnison Sports Talk Radio with me every Wednesday and Friday from 11-12 on KWSB 91.1fm. Follow Rev on twitter @RevKoka, and instagram @revkoka. Follow the show on twitter @COAPOD73, follow me @JimmyPallotto on twitter and @proud_wop on instagram.

Back at it again with a solo podcast, I like the way these have been coming out where we have a guest every couple weeks and in between I just get to talk with you all by myself and spew out some of the stuff off my brain. Wide range of topics today, starting g with a dirty joke, then I give an update on my life since the last time I had a solo episode, the ending of my live broadcasting career here at Western. Then I talk about some of the sports topics I haven't been able to address on the show yet, then I talk about some of the feelings I have on TikTok stars. After that I try out a couple new segments I might introduce into all the shows depending on how they go. Go to the Center of Attention twitter account @COAPOD73 and vote on the versus battles I did between "Friday night lights" against "Remember the Titans" and then a gorilla fighting against a lion.

On today's episode of Center of Attention we get the better half of the relationship of one of our former guests Christian Saez in the form of his fiancé Marissa Manzanares.

Marissa talks about her job as the social media reporter for the station and some of the challenges she's had with confirming a story and some of the news she's had to break.

Center of Attention Episode 8: So nice we Had to do it twice with Niko Bryant

On today's episode of Center of Attention we have another first for the show, a phone call podcast. The guest to accomplish this feat is none other than my former broadcasting partner Christian Saez. Christian is the reason I am the sports director for KWSB here in Gunnison. Christian graduated last spring with a degree in Communication Arts and currently studying a Master's degree at Gonzaga University in Spokane. Christian and I used to co-host the radio show I took over this year, Gunnison Sports Talk Radio, so the episode heavily revolves around the world of sports but this platform gives us the ability to be more open in our opinions and talk longer about topics that we both enjoy. Hopefully you all find this enjoyable it was one of my favorite episodes so far I've recorded. Thank you for all the support for Center of Attention you can find the show on all available platforms.

Center of Attention Episode 6: A Man and His Thoughts

This weeks episode is a special one recorded last Thursday before we had to go back to school Niko Bryant and I got to sit down for the first time in months to catch up and talk about a lot of things, mainly sports, but I'm so glad we got to get this done. Niko is one of my oldest and closest friends, we started playing football together in 7th grade and went all the way through Senior Year of high school. He's one of the people who can match me step for step in football, MMA and boxing, and WWE discussion which we spend a good portion of the podcast talking about. Then he greases my wheels to be ready to talk about basketball on Gunnison Sports Talk Radio next semester. He's one of the best dudes I know and will be graduating from Grand Canyon University in May with a Sports Management/Agency degree and has applied for the CAA internship after he finishes school. His future is bright and I can't wait for you guys to get to know him better and be on the lookout for him in the future. You can follow Niko on social media @niko11bryant on instagram and twitter also don't be surprised if he pops up on here again in the near future after Connor McGregor and Donald Cerrone have their upcoming fight. You can follow me on instagram @proud_wop, and twitter @JimmyPallotto.
