Summary

Episode 543 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features a conversation with CBS college football and college basketball studio host, Adam Zucker.

Zucker talks about what it's like for him to replace Greg Gumbel as NCAA Tournament Selection Show host and what Gumbel meant to Zucker as a mentor.

In addition, Zucker goes in-depth on what it's like to host the Selection Show, handle studio duties for the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament and to work with Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith for the Tournament.

Zucker also reveals whether he'd have interest in covering the NFL, how he got into broadcasting and why he once got suspended from doing in-school announcements.

Following Zucker, Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV in New York joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week's topics include Twitter going down during the peak of NFL free agency, having alerts/notifications on your phone, "The Wire" vs. "The Sopranos," and much more.
