Podcasts
In April of 2008, I started a job as a board operator for Los Angeles’s hit radio station 102.7 KIIS FM. While the station was a music station and not a sports talk station, it was still a great experience, and it was fun to be behind a soundboard again.
Radio is one of my favorite mediums, so I decided to give podcasting a try. I podcasted daily through late May and June, and then switched to every couple of days. As football season rolled around I started working more predominantly in video, and I eventually shut down some of my personal projects (including the podcast) when I accepted a job as a content provider for Sportsbook Review LLC.
Here is the complete collection of my podcasts.
