The Jason McIntyre Show: NASCAR Reporter Nicole Briscoe

The podcast is back, and just in time for your 2nd-to-last beach weekend of the summer! This week’s guest: Nicole Briscoe, a NASCAR reporter at ESPN who is kind of a big deal: She’s five months pregnant, a former Miss Teen USA contestant, was a cheerleader at the same high school as Danica Patrick, and oh yeah, she’s wondering what her future will hold now that ESPN parted ways with NASCAR.

Among the topics we discussed:

* Her thoughts on the next step in her career now that ESPN has lost NASCAR.
* Pregnancy. I assume male readers will skip most of this, but it’s a pretty frank/candid discussion about how life changes. She plans on keeping her career, and she’s interviewing nannies.
* Miss Teen Illinois! Check the slideshow. Her photo is in there.
* Briscoe went to the same high school as Danica Patrick. Both were cheerleaders at the same time, though they were in different grades. We discuss Dazed & Confused-caliber hazing.
* She is an enormous Packers fan.
* The state of NASCAR.
