We have another edition of the Sports Media Weekly podcast and we have two good guests. Keith Thibault of Sports Media Journal and I talked about the news of the week and also had an interesting announcement from Dan Levy.
For the “Third Man In” segment, we brought in Paulsen from Sports Media Watch. We talked the following:
- NCAA Tournament Ratings
- NCAA Tournament coverage and how to improve it.
- The NBA on TNT’s strange experiment of having three analysts and no play-by-play announcer on Thursday.
Our guest segment had Dan Levy of The Bleacher Report and we discussed a few things with him including:
- The growth of The Bleacher Report.
- Turner Sports’ purchase of The Bleacher Report.
- The reason why Dan ended his podcast for the time being.
Then Dan used the opportunity to announce a new Kickstarter project to help fund a new graphic novel project, The Rise of the Umpire Robots that will launch this week. It’s a fascinating project and one that could lead to some bigger things.
A very fascinating podcast and another edition of breaking news on Sports Media Weekly. You can always find the podcast on iTunes by doing a search for “Sports Media Journal” or find it here to listen immediately.
