Customer Reviews
Great way to stay informed on the sports media!
I have been a fan of Richard Deitsch’s for almost two years now. I often read his SI columns and will continue to now that he’s at The Athletic. Based on his previous show, this new podcast from Richard will be a must listen to stay informed on sports media news and a great place to for interviews with some of the best names in the sports media industry. Richard asks thoughtful and interesting questions of his guests and there’s usually quite a bit of humor in the sports media round table episodes. I’d recommend people subscribe!
Love this

Glad it's back... but
Richard I'm glad the podcast isn't dead. I usually enjoy it. But please, please, please stop screaming over your guests all the time. Thanks!
