- I write, produce, and host a sports talk show, The BaumSquad Sports Shew, on WHUP FM 104.7 in Hillsborough NC. My show is a Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs type show as I go out and practice with many of my show guests. I have played Field Hockey with the UNC Tarheel ACC Champion Field Hockey Team, thrown Corn Hole with the NC State Champion corn hole player, and skated with the Carolina Roller-girls roller derby team. I have to carefully navigate through sensitive topics at times and have guests with opposing views to greater broaden my listeners experience.
