I had a great time talking with Marty Lurie this morning. It was my first time on KNBR, as well as my first time doing a radio interview while sitting in the same room with the host. Lurie made the whole thing easy, even adjusting the microphone for me on my headset so people would be able to actually hear me. In the interview we talked about how BASG got started, all the contributing writers who have helped the site grow into what it has become, and getting credentialed for the local professional teams. Oh yeah, we also talked about a certain drinking game. He was a very good sport about that. Thanks so much to Marty for having me on. Here's the interview:
