Episode 272 of the Sports Media Podcast features a conversation with Fox NFL play by play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and analyst Greg Olsen. Burkhardt and Olsen will call the Niners-Eagles NFC Championship Game, and then Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12. In this podcast, Burkhardt and Olsen discuss how they judge success for their broadcast; Olsen’s specific preparation for each game; how Burkhardt approaches calling his Super Bowl; Olsen on Tom Brady having a contract with Fox to call the No. 1 game whenever Brady retires; how Olsen has approached the season with regard to the Brady contract; whether Olsen would work in a three-person booth; Burkhardt on Olsen’s audition; Olsen on how Burkhardt’s humility helps the broadcast; the value of looking at the field away from the quarterback position; whether it is an advantage to going into the broadcast booth immediately after retiring; advice Burkhardt received from Mets broadcaster Gary Cohen, and more.
