  • Deitsch Is The Man

    First found Deitsch on Bob McCown podcast. Very intelligent, thoughtful and humble broadcaster. The business / media side of sports isn’t properly reported on; thank god for Deitsch. Does a great job.

  • Definite Appointment listening

    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.

  • A bit misleading

    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.
