Welcome to the Heath Barn

In this episode, I had the privilege to sit down with the PA announcer for the Chicago Bears, Bulls, and Fire; AND Illini men’s basketball, Tim Sinclair. We cover a lot of ground, including how he got involved in announcing, and his experiences PA announcing in the bubble, as well as 4 all star weekends. We also discuss some of our favorite announcers, and how we’re both “96ers.” Great stories, and extremely interesting and informative. Thank you so much Tim Sinclair for being on the pod, and ENJOY.
