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?
