Customer Reviews
Love Richard’s interviews!
Love Richard’s interviews and especially the recent one with Peter King. That he was able to get King so quickly after his retirement shows how much credibility he has in the sports media world. I also loved King’s work and was very sad to see him go. But hearing them reminisce about their time together at SI was fascinating!
Richard is EXHAUSTED! 🙃
I became aware of Mr Richard’s work as an avid listener of Bob Mccowan’s radio program on the Fan 590 in the mid 90s. Give or take a year or two. Content is king and Richard’s work has always been king 👑! I’m not interested in sports 🏀 media from a technical standpoint, but from a business side I enjoy the content from a learning perspective. I also enjoy watching women’s sports from a competitor side regarding their passion, fight, and aggression while playing a game. Whether it’s been on radio, SI, or this awesome podcast the guests, the voices, and their shared stories as always been TOP notch. 👏👏👏
Great show
Interesting look at the business of sports off the field and behind the cameras.Very compelling.
