The Laguna Podcast
The Laguna Podcast, hosted by Andrés Spinetti, is an immersive podcast series that delves into the rich tapestry of fly fishing, conservation, and the cultural narratives surrounding the Texas Coast. Drawing from his extensive experience as a passionate angler and environmental advocate, Spinetti crafts episodes that offer both technical insights and compelling storytelling. What really makes the podcast stand out, though, is the way it celebrates the community. Andrés invites in folks from all walks of life—guides, conservationists, local legends—and lets them tell their life stories. These are the voices who have made the Texas Coast feel like home for countless people. It’s the kind of show that makes you proud to be from the coast—or wish you were.
