The Announcer Schedules Podcast, a weekly, in-depth discussion on sports broadcasting and the announcing profession, has debuted in partnership with the Sports Media Watch Podcast
The Announcer Schedules Podcast features Phil de Montmollin, the founder of the @announcerskedsTwitter account and is hosted by veteran sports radio personality Mike Gill @mikegillshow.
The podcast will provide listeners with a recap and preview of the latest announcer pairings, while also detailing the process behind-the-scenes for the announcing profession. The show will feature interviews with sports play-by-play announcers, analysts and sideline reporters, along with a review of each week’s top sports announcing calls.
The inaugural episode dives into the NFL announcer “silly season”, the NBA and NHL Playoff announcers, the PGA Championship and the Indy 500, along with the origin story of the @announcerskeds twitter feed and podcast.
