Fang’s Bites Podcast No. 12 — Jay Onrait, Fox Sports 1

Just one guest on this week’s edition of the podcast. Jay Onrait of Fox Sports Live is the lone interview this week.

Among the topics discussed:

  • Jay getting indoctrinated to Los Angeles with his first earthquake;
  • The transition of moving from Canada to Southern California;
  • What lured him and his on-air partner, Dan O’Toole and TSN SportsCentre Producer Tim to Fox;
  • His experience in covering the 2010 Vancouver and 2012 London Olympics for CTV and TSN, respectively plus we reference this video;
  • Covering the 2014 Sochi Olympics for FS1 as a non-rightsholder;
  • And his book “Anchorboy: True Tales from the World of Sportscasting

And don’t mind me as I was walking my dog while recording the wraps for this podcast. I figured it was a good time to do it.

It’s a good interview with Jay and a fun listen. You find the podcast on iTunes by doing a search for “Fang’s Bites” or the Podcast Garden episode page.
