Comedian, podcaster, and hometown hero, Cat Swantner comes on podcast and we take a Watermelon Crawl on down to Southeast Texas for a bit of Gator Watchin'. Growing up devoutly Christian, performing on the drill team, and Miss Giggliata were facets of Cat's time at Westbrook High School (although she didn't get the invite to the mass reunion). Life's a little different out southeast: Italian Alligator Watches via Nome, cutting all the hair off of Barbies, and True Love Waits. Performing the Watermelon Crawl for her aunt with Tracy Byrd himself, feuding with a homeless lady in Austin, and why hovering is a recipe for disaster. This one's got what you need if you've got the hometown blues.
