  • Hey richard love listening to your podcast. i listen to alot of sports podcast but like yours beause it comes at the sports media side gives different perspective on sport. I know curling isnt a big deal but wit Vic Rauter retiring from TSN i would love if you could get him as a guest or just talk about how great of a legend in the world of curling media he was. One of the best announcers of any sport to call a sport. Thanks for your time

    Discovered Richard via his pal Jimmy Traina and listen to his episodes when time allows. I appreciate learning about the business side of sports media and other cool BTS things (best media dining?!). Listening to this pod will bring you into a class of your own among your coworkers when having water cooler talk about sports.
