Sports Media Weekly Podcast No. 10

This week, the podcast that is co-hosted by yours truly and Southeastern New England media mogul Keith Thibault of Sports Media Journal explores a whole host of topics.

For the entire half hour, our guest is Tom Hoffarth, sports media writer of the Los Angeles Daily News. Among the topics we discuss are Jon Gruden’s contract extension to remain in the ESPN Monday Night Football booth, ESPN’s West Coast SportsCenter and LA presence, as well as ESPN’s 24 hour college basketball marathon.

We also talk about Tom doing play-by-play of an inning of a minor league baseball game, running the field mic for a college football game, his playful tweaking of USC football voice Pete Arbogast, speculation on Vin Scully’s retirement, the reduction of newspapers covering the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver as well as bringing back the NFL to Los Angeles.

It’s another great edition and a quick listen. Just over a half hour. You can check it out right here.

Over the next two weeks, we have some good guests so be ready for some fun podcasts.
