Summary

My guest is David Halberstam of Sports Broadcast Journal.  We talked about cancel culture in the world of sports media personalities.  David recently interviewed Thom Brennaman who was fired last summer by the Cincinnati Reds and Fox for saying a homophobic slur on TV.  We talked about that and others who have been sent to pasture for one comment.  David is also a sports broadcast historian.  We talked about his favorite announcers of all time!
