For fans of the San Diego Padres.Ben Fadden talking about the San Diego Padres--and a little bit about other San Diego Sports! Former guests include MLBN's Matt Vasgersian, Lauren Shehadi & Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo, former Padres Clayton Richard and Heath Bell, Padres radio voice Jesse Agler, 97.3 The Fan's Steven Woods & Paul Reindl, & San Diego Sports 760's Marty Caswell, Jon Schaeffer & Jim Russell! Ben has been a diehard Padres fan since he was a kid & his family has had season tickets since he was 13. He’s been through the ups & the downs—from being at Petco Park when the Dodgers beat the Padres on Opening Day in 2016 15-0 to being in the upper deck when the Padres beat LA in the 2022 NLDS. He can’t wait to be here with you when the Padres finally win it all! Main show link: linktr.ee/talkingfriars IG/Twitter: @talkingfriars
