On the debut edition of Nobody’s Safe with Brady Laber, Brady’s guest is Nate Metz who is the voice of the Thomas More University Saints and the founder of the Stove Leg Media Podcast Network. Nate talks about “cold calling” local small colleges in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area trying to land a spot as a play-by-play announcer after graduating from college and working a regular job. After doing some work for the Cincinnati Christian University women’s basketball team he tells the story about receiving a call from Thomas More University. Nate joins the Thomas More basketball broadcast team in mid-season of the 2017-18 campaign. He goes into detail about the chemistry between himself and his first broadcast partner at Thomas More, former women’s basketball player Devin Beasley. He tells a great story about the time they first met each other which was after their first broadcast together had already begun. We go back to the beginning for Nate being born in Cincinnati. His mother Kim Beeson was a former disk jockey/on-air personalty at WUBE-FM (now known as B-105) in Cincinnati during the 1980’s and early 90’s. As a youngster, Nate’s family moves to Beloit, Wisconsin after his dad, a commercial airline pilot, is relocated. He explains how Beloit is more of an urban area than the dairy farms that most people reference when people talk about the state of Wisconsin. Nate talks about some of his early influences in the broadcast industry. Of course he states his mom but his next answer isn’t what you might expect out of a sports announcer. For an upcoming broadcaster Nate actually did not study broadcasting at first in college. He attended Berea College in Kentucky but his mom advised him to actually major in accounting. Nate talks about having to participate in a work-study program while at Berea that includes his first ever job that happened to be in food services. He eventually gets involved in the athletics department as a broadcaster thanks to a personal connection with someone else that was actually from Beloit. Nate talks about returning home each summer to work for the Beloit Snappers, Class-A affiliate of the Oakland A’s. He worked there with Frontier League Hall of Fame player/manager Fran Riordan who encouraged Nate to walk-on to the baseball team at Berea. Nate also talks about working in Beloit with Bill Czaja, a longtime play-by-play announcer in the Frontier League who was working for the Snappers as the Director of Marketing and Promotions. This of course sparks a conversation about the unusual promotions you see in minor league baseball. After graduating from Berea, Nate settled in Cincinnati, working a "real job” at insurance company followed by an accounting job while trying to figure out a strategy to land work as a broadcaster. Nate goes into more detail about his first season working for Thomas More that included a run by the women’s basketball team to the NCAA Division-III national championship game. Nate and Brady then talk about starting to work together as a broadcast team calling Thomas More football games for the 2018 season. Nate also talks about calling all Thomas More varsity sporting events including ones that he had never had experience in calling before. Nate and Brady talk about teaming up for the Thomas More women’s basketball run to the 2019 NCAA D-III National Championship. Nate closes out the conversation talking his venture as an entrepreneur founding his own podcast distribution company called Stove Leg Media.
