  • Great Sports Media Listen

    Discovered Richard via his pal Jimmy Traina and listen to his episodes when time allows. I appreciate learning about the business side of sports media and other cool BTS things (best media dining?!). Listening to this pod will bring you into a class of your own among your coworkers when having water cooler talk about sports.
