PODCAST: Return of the (Michael) Grady

A Warren Central HS grad, Grady was a game emcee and PA announcer for the Pacers/Fever, co-hosted a morning sports talk show and is now in Year 1 with the Minnesota Timberwolves. All love for Indy.

On this episode of the Fieldhouse Files, I’ll discuss the Pacers’ great start to the season (10-6) and what’s working. Then, I’ll be joined by Indy’s own Michael Grady, now the television voice of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Bally Sports North.
