My chosen penpal, Christopher A. Kidd, is a professional podcaster for a popular Seattle Seahawks podcast called SeahawksMan2Man on Blue Wire, Apple Podcast and YouTube. In this podcast, Chris talks about Seattle Seahawks football with the show&#8217;s host, Michael-Shawn Dugar of the Athletic. Christopher was my first option because of the mutual connection we&#8217;ve developed over the years. Christopher Kidd is an intelligent individual that I created a relationship with through online. Through my very own professional Seahawks sports account, Seahwkrealm on Instagram, I messaged Christopher one day, explaining to him how I was a frequent listener of the SeahawksMan2Man podcast, as well as his radio work for 93.3KJR FM. Since then, we&#8217;ve followed each other and developed a close relationship that has only grown stronger through the years. Through extensive research, I learned that Christopher Kidd graduated from Washington State University and has lived in the Pacific Northwest for a good portion of his life. Christopher Kidd uses Instagram and X as his main avenues of communication as both a podcaster and sports blogger. On the X platform, Chris uses the site to primarily plug his work from the SeahawksMan2Man as well as extensive information about the Seahawks and the Washington State Cougars. Pictured below is Christopher Kidd&#8217;s X account, where he posts and does his work, covering all things Seattle Seahawks with Michael-Shawn Dugar of the Athletic.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7108.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"918\" src=\"https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7108-1024x918.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26\" style=\"width:296px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7108-1024x918.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7108-300x269.jpg 300w, https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7108-768x688.jpg 768w, https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7108.jpg 1284w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7109.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7109-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25\" style=\"width:209px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7109-773x1024.jpg 773w, https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7109-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7109-768x1017.jpg 768w, https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7109-1159x1536.jpg 1159w, https:\/\/student.wp.odu.edu\/nchan003\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38185\/2025\/02\/IMG_7109.jpg 1284w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For the Strategic Communication plan, both Christopher Kidd and I both agreed that it would be best to do something related to the Seattle Seahawks since it&#8217;s a strong topic we both happen to share in common in the sports communications world.
