Sports Media Weekly Podcast No. 64 – Michelle Beadle

by , under Michelle Beadle, Podcast, Sports Media Weekly

One of the most fun podcasts I’ve had comes tonight when Keith Thibault of Sports Media Journal and I had the opportunity to talk to ESPN’s Michelle Beadle just after she purchased an iPhone. It was so funny. I could not stop laughing as you’ll hear.

Before we talked with Michelle, Keith and I had our usual news segment and most of it was spent discussing the situation regarding ESPN.com college football writer Bruce Feldman and his suspension/non-suspension by ESPN. Keith and I both agreed about the Worldwide Leader came across and how the ESPN Ombudsman seemed to accept the company line from the higher ups in regards to the story.

From there, we went to the ratings for ESPN on a very busy Sunday which included the Open Championship, the Women’s World Cup Final and Sunday Night Baseball. And we also discussed how the ratings for the Women’s World Cup beat the All-Star Game.

And we explored the NBA releasing the regular season schedules for ESPN, NBA TV and TNT despite being in the midst of a labor lockout.

Our interview with Michelle Beadle of ESPN2′s SportsNation went extremely well. This turned out to be quite fun as we talked about what a day at SportsNation is like. We talked about her time guest hosting for Kelly Ripa on Live with Regis and Kelly.

We discussed what the difference is between her co-hosts Colin Cowherd of SportsNation and Marcellus Wiley on Winners Bracket. And we talked about working with the ESPN Radio hack every day.

Michelle’s comments about Erin Andrews in the book, “Those Guys Have All The Fun: Inside the World of ESPN” were broached.

Michelle also talked about Twitter and plugged her podcast. This was laughs all the way through and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

You now can go to iTunes and subscribe to the podcast once again under “Sports Media Journal” or you can just
