Podcast Overview

Dear San Diego is a public affairs podcast with personality. Hosted by veteran communication specialists Tony Manolatos and Juan Hernandez, Dear San Diego gives newsmakers and others a platform to discuss the big issues of the day, but that’s just the beginning. Tony and Juan’s guests share what’s not in their bios, who they are away from work, secrets to success, and more. Tony and Juan also discuss work, home, fatherhood, health and wellness, and youth sports – where the politics can be way more fierce than they are at city hall. Tony and Juan met a decade ago while working for dueling mayoral candidates in San Diego. Since then, the two friends have worked together on numerous public affairs, land-use, and issue campaigns.

Aimee Faucett has spent her career in the room where decisions get made.

Little League & Travel Baseball: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Young baseball players who play with confidence and joy tend to separate themselves from their peers, but the mental side of the game is a constant challenge for players at all levels. The pressure proves to be too much for most kids – the majority of whom <a href="https://ilovetowatchyouplay.com/2018/05/20/how-adults-are-ruining-youth-sports/">quit youth sports</a> by the time they turn 13. Adults often are cited as the reason why. If your son or daughter plays baseball or wants to, this episode is for you. Tune in now to listen to Dear San Diego’s Tony Manolatos discuss all that’s right and wrong with Little League and Travel Baseball.

What is Dear San Diego?: Dear San Diego is a public affairs podcast with personality. Hosted by veteran communication specialists Tony Manolatos and Juan Hernandez, Dear San Diego gives newsmakers and others a platform to discuss the big issues of the day, but that’s just the beginning. Tony and Juan’s guests share what’s not in their bios, who they are away from work, secrets to success, and more. Tony and Juan also discuss work, home, fatherhood, health and wellness, and youth sports – where the politics can be way more fierce than they are at city hall. Tony and Juan met a decade ago while working for dueling mayoral candidates in San Diego. Since then, the two friends have worked together on numerous public affairs, land-use, and issue campaigns.
