Sports Media Weekly Podcast No. 95 — Chad Finn, Boston Globe

Today, our guest for the entire Sports Media Weekly Podcast is Chad Finn, the sports media and sometimes Boston Red Sox writer for the Boston Globe. This is the second time that Chad has been the guest on the podcast and it’s nice to have him on.

Keith Thibault of Sports Media Journal and I discussed a plethora of topics with Chad including the recently announced NCAA Tournament coverage for the CBS/Turner Sports consortium, the plans for the Globe to cover new Ivy League champion Harvard University in the Tournament, the recent announcement of Bob Ryan to cut back his schedule after the London Olympics this summer, ESPN’s potential to smother the Peyton Manning story as it did with Brett Favre, Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin, the Boston sports radio wars and how local sports media has been a great beat to cover.

A fun podcast and a shorter edition than in recent weeks, but I think you’ll like it. Find it on iTunes by doing a search for “Sports Media Journal” or go here to listen right now.
