The episode with Stan Verrett and Neil Everett was excellent in how they feel comfortable in starting a video podcast. It is nice to hear that given a platform and finding an audience that will watch, the money will hopefully follow.
A future topic I would like to hear is the rise of content creators. Two names that come to mind are Katie Feeney and Annie Agar from ESPN. Their career paths would be a fascinating story.
Leaving out that Jacob Henry is a walk-on is a fact that should have been disclosed. I look him up, expecting to see he’s a scholarship player and he’s not. It’s ok to be a walk-on. Nothing to be ashamed of but he very well may never see the field.
As a big Detroit Tigers fan, I really enjoyed listening to the podcast with Jason Benetti that you did. I think he is one of the best people in baseball to call a game right now. I also enjoyed your recent interview with Mark Henry too. I’m impressed that you continue to have on guests from the pro wrestling world. As a big fan of this too, I really appreciate that you shine a spotlight on this genre.
The best sports media podcast - lots of different topics and guests, few hot takes, not too football focused. Another idea for a future episode - maybe a Canadian roundtable discussion (Donnovan Bennett and Shirin Ahmed) about how screwed up the World Cup will be given our current political environment?
I have been a long time listener of this podcast, and I continue to enjoy Richard’s interviewing style and choice of guests. He does seem to search for out of the box guests, often times people I’ve never heard of which make listening to this a weekly staple for me.
