What is the future of play by play on the radio? How does tv and streaming affect that? Tulsa Drillers play by play man Dennis Higgins gives us his thoughts and tells us why he was more than happy to leave MLB broadcasting to return to minor league baseball broadcasting. 

Dennis Higgins is the radio play by play announcer for the Tulsa Drillers, the double A affiliate of the LA Dodgers. In part 1, Higgins talks about how driving a beer truck for 8 years coupled with a life changing phone call from his father got him into play by play. Higgins talks about his inspiration from Vin Sculley and what he said to him when he got the chance to meet the legend. Higgins also has an incredible story of the great Jon Miller randomly hearing his broadcast and taking the time to reach out and talk to Higgins. This and much more.. 

Are high school students interested in play by play? What are your biggest pet peeves when listening to  a game? That and Five Questions in part 3 of my discussion with Jim McCoy

Jim McCoy teaches broadcasting at Cascade Christian High School and calls Chargers games on the school's streaming channel. Hear his thoughts on high school rivalries, being careful what you say about kids and one prank against him that could have gone horribly wrong. 

Jim McCoy has a lot of radio experience but also gets to do something a lot of us would love to do.....broadcast his alma mater. Part 1 we talk about Jim's unique opportunity to broadcast games for a school he is a part of... as a teach and alum. 

Kutter Crawford of the Boston Red Sox talks about playing baseball for a living compared to playing for fun, what was it like having local radio cover his high school baseball games? We play 5 questions, has Kutter ever played as himself in MLB The Show? 

Kutter Crawford of the Boston Red Sox is exactly  the spirit of what this podcast is all about. When my station in Okeechobee, Florida first began broadcasting Okeechobee High School baseball in 2014, Kutter was a senior coming off a 5 win season as a junior. Crawford was probably known more as being the younger brother of Detroit Tiger's first round draft pick Jonathan Crawford than he was for his own achievements but he lead his high school team to a district championship and then improved every year through college to eventually grind his way into the Red Sox rotation. We discuss his journey in part 1. 

This was posted one day after Buffalo Bills' safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field from cardiac arrest during Monday Night Football. This is obviously a very scary time and we offer the strongest prayers as Hamlin fights for his life. I discuss the job ESPN did navigating through the broadcast and how difficult that is for a broadcaster.

I talk with Rob Adams of WGCH in Greenwich Connecticut about the industry now with all the online access compared to when that was not available. We also play 5 questions.
