The Soda City Sitdown is a passion project / sports podcast started with 4 friends of mine, where we discuss local sports and news to Columbia, South Carolina and beyond. Something started to keep us busy and pursue a dream, has become a legitimate creative outlet for us, allowing a platform for our voices in the sports world, as well as a space for me to experiment creatively and refine my skills on software and techniques that usually don’t apply to industrial design. Our brand and reach has grown beyond what we could have imagined, and it has allowed us to treat our little podcast as a serious contender in sports entertainment for the city of columbia, and take a real business approach to how we conduct ourselves and where we grow from here.
Feel free to check out any of the visual / video elements I’ve created so far, as well as our latest podcast episodes below.

With the NFL draft only a week away, a lot of time is spent this week discussing our predictions for the NFL Draft Round 1, with Kyle Larson’s racial slip, reviewing the new Browns Jerseys, and Christian McCaffrey’s new contract closing conversation this week.
To coincide with the NFL draft, our podcast team made individual round 1 draft predictions, that were compiled into the visual below to post to the podcast twitter with this week’s podcast release.
a combined prediction from the individual takes above was made to be posted to the podcast twitter the day of the draft.
This week, we had a good friend of the podcast, Josh Pittman lend his voice and clash head to head against Tyler on Steelers vs Ravens topics mostly. The gang together debated our QB bracket rankings, the new Buccaneers and Falcons jerseys, and made light of Tyler’s Masters sorrow.
With the third week of our podcast on quarantine, you can easily tell the dire straights our podcast team has fallen into, whether mentally or in auditory. Plenty to cover on the Tiger King on Netflix, hating yourself in sports, Panthers therapy time, NCAA eligibility changes, and transatlantic accents.
With another week of no sports, we try find content in discussing our favorite local restaurants, how Esports has evolved to COVID-19, and roasting the Rams new logo.
The gang tries to piece back together their sports lives, trying to find something to talk about. Are they a Marble Run podcast now? Maybe Esports? See how long they can stall a conversation while Marino gets his internet fixed.
