Fang’s Bites Podcast No. 10 — Gail Sideman, Publiside & Peter Schrager, Fox Sports

Another edition of the Fang’s Bites podcast. This one we do a little differently.

The first guest is Gail Sideman of Publiside, a public relations firm that coaches clients on the use of PR and social media. Among the topics we discuss:

  • The proper use of social media
  • Why some athletes still don’t use their brains before they tweet.
  • How not to make the situation worse.
  • The proper way to apologize.
  • Why some coaches don’t seem to get Twitter.
  • Some of the best tools for athletes to reach their fans.

Then I speak with Peter Schrager of Fox Sports. He was formerly the senior NFL writer for FoxSports.com. Now he’s a general assignment reporter for Fox Sports 1. Here’s are some of the issues we talked about:

  • How he joined Fox Sports 1.
  • The transition from being a print guy to becoming a TV reporter.
  • The difference in covering the NFL as a writer and a TV reporter.
  • His experiences in Sochi covering the Olympics for Fox Sports 1.
  • His thoughts in covering the Phil Jackson/New York Knicks press conference.
  • And his appearance this week on Crowd Goes Wild.

Overall, a fun podcast and a shorter version compared to last week. Find the podcast by doing a search for “Fang’s Bites” on iTunes. You can also find it on Podcast Garden where the podcast is hosted. You can also listen right now by clicking here.
