In this episode of the 5 Disc Changer Podcast, host Ashley Autumn sits down with Nashville native and powerhouse sports journalist Mike Patton, aka The General. Known as one of the hardest-working men in Tennessee sports, Mike covers everything from the Tennessee Titans’ locker room to Tennessee State University athletics, while also running three successful podcasts (Touring the AFC South, This Woman Works, and Let’s Talk HBCUs).
Together, Ashley and Mike dig into the deep connection between music and sports — from the Hot Boys and Camp Lo to Michael Jackson, New Jack City, and Jeezy’s Thug Motivation 101. Mike shares the memories and energy these albums carry, how music sets the tone for athletes, and the role city sounds and HBCU bands play in shaping sports culture.
They also swap stories on locker room playlists, clear Air Force 1s, and why Three 6 Mafia and Project Pat still ring out in the parking lot.
Highlights:

Whether you’re a sports fan, music lover, or just down for good stories, this episode brings both worlds together in a way only “The General” can.
