Hey everybody, this is Richard Deich and welcome to the sports media podcast. My producer is Patrick Antonetti.

Two guests this week, two excellent segments. First up, Chad Finn, for some sports media talk.

And we get into so many things. Al Michaels discussing ESPN story on Daniel Snyder,

acquiring dirt on owners during Amazon's Bears, Commanders Broadcast, where we, what we're thinking

about in terms of the NBA starting up and sort of where broadcasting is and where viewership might be in that league and what

she'll be interested in and get into Dremont Green.

And will he be, will his broadcasting career be impacted or hurt by punching Jordan Poole?

Talked about Stephen A. Smith appearing on some political shows and will that open the door up

for other ESPNers, get into Fox's decision not to talk about anything

in Qatar other than what is on the pitch and a number of other topics. He is followed by

Meredith Shiner, who has a new podcast exploring the intersection of sports and American Jewish

culture. Meredith Shiner is, I think she as she said, maybe a reformed national political

reporter, but had many, many, many, many bylines in politics and obviously worked at the

highest levels of Washington. She's now a freelance writer, communication strategist, and a lecture in public

policy. But for these purposes, she's the host of the franchise, which is a limited series

podcast from tablet studios exploring the intersection of sports and American Jewish culture,

and we get into the origin of the podcast and what she's hoping with that. I'm always interested

in people who have something new. Jason Romano, a lot of the podcast and what she's hoping with that. I'm always interested in people who

have something new. Jason Romano, a longtime ESPN producer, I have great respect for. He came up with

a podcast on the intersection of faith and sports. A lot of people who are, who believe in Christ.

And that podcast, it's called Sports Spectrum.

It's been massive.
