Welcome back to The Blue Stiley Podcast. Today, I’m sitting down with someone whose voice you’ve probably heard if you’ve ever tuned into ROOT SPORTS Northwest — longtime broadcaster Tom Glasgow. From the Seahawks to the Mariners, Tom has spent over 40 years behind the mic, bringing some of the biggest sports moments to life. In this conversation, we dive into what that journey has looked like: the pressure of live TV, the value of preparation, and what it really means to stay authentic in a world that constantly wants you to perform.
