When Colin Cowherd of Fox Sports and the Volume podcasting network stopped by HoS, I wanted to pick his brain on industry subjects. As expected, he was a stupendously entertaining font of behind scenes takes.
As a TV sports talk king and a podcasting network founder, he sees the modern content economy from different perspectives all at once. So we get into that, plus a lot more, as we freestyle 90 minutes of loose talk. Enjoy.
This podcast includes but is not limited to discussion of the following topics…
* Choosing storytelling over big names in sports talk
* On talking politics in sports media and whether ESPN had too much of it
* How Colin manages his podcast personalities
* Why did Colin bet big on Nick Wright early on?
* How does Colin balance Draymond Green being on his network with Draymond being an occasional sports talk subject?
* Could Colin ever employ Aaron Rodgers as a podcaster given how frequently he’s critiqued the finicky quarterback?
* Why can’t baseball be part of the sports conversation?
* Are tight ends massively underpaid?
* Tony Romo’s broadcast struggles
* Does Colin really screen potential hires to make sure they aren’t golf nuts?
