House of L podcast

This guy is one of my absolute favorites. He's moved up through the media business, the hard way. From Bouncer to sitting on the desk of the Chicago Sun-Times, Evan Moore has an incredible story. 

I really like the way Sahadev covers baseball. He's making us smarter fans with the way he breaks down the game. This episode, is all about how it almost didn't happen for him. He was working outside of sports before he decided to succeed or fail at what he's passionate about. Don't worry, there's a ton of baseball geeking out in here too. 

One of my favorite comedians was on the podcast. We talked about his HBO Special "The Great Depresh" and his role in Joker. It's an important conversation about mental health. 

Cubs games will no longer be shown on free tv. I wanted to talk about that drastic change AND give you some perspective on how things are going to be different along with discussing the bigger picture items of cord-cutting, bundling, and what happened to the Dodgers with their own network. 

She's one of the best baseball writers in the business. I loved this episode, we got to talk about the thread of stories that connects baseball's past, present, and future. On top of that, we discussed our shared love of Chicago. 

Lauren has lived many lives. I sat down with the Channel 9 anchor to talk about her career, hobbies, and her new outdoors show that's debuting August 31st: "Destination: Outdoors with Lauren Magiera." It also doesn't hurt that she has a tremendous voice too...

Tom Dreesen has LIVED! We talked about touring with Sinatra & Sammy Davis Jr. We discussed his love for the Cubs and the city of Harvey. And we talked about his role in the strike that got comedians paid at the Comedy Store in the 80s. This is an all-time interview from a great American.

I thought I was gonna geek out with Elliott, but we hit on some deep topics like religion and family dynamics. We also then geeked out. Elliott is one of the most talented people I know. He's also pretty thoughtful as you will hear. 

Camron is making big moves in the broadcasting industry. He's also juggling a lot of different jobs at a bunch of different entities. We talk about that and his transition from basketball star to media member. 

I loved this conversation. Pat is an OG on the Chicago comedy scene. We talked about some of his biggest and best moments doing comedy, Tom & Jerry cartoons, and his beloved White Sox. 

No guest this week. I had an experience this weekend that made me introspective. So I took the time to talk about race & cultural identity: my own in relationship to the Black community at large. The rest you have to listen to...

Alex Brown has made the transition from player to analyst pretty flawlessly. We discussed his career on & off the field AND what it's like to sit back and watch his children succeed in athletics. 

He's a star on the rise. One of the funniest dudes that I know and I'm glad to call him a friend. He left being a CPS teach to pursue comedy and now it's taken him to the writing room at Rel & LaffTracks. He has a great story. 

Our first return guest on the podcast, Jason Goff is back! This time we celebrated all of his success since leaving the Score. In a little over a year, he took his biggest career disappointment and turned it into a victory. J talks about his new deal with ESPN and his great show on Sirius Big Ten Network. Beyond that, the episode is ridiculously fun...

She's one of my favorite people to talk shop with. Leila has been through a lot to get to where she's at. We discussed her start in Sports Radio at 19, covering the Olympics, and growing up Persian in a post-9/11 world. Incredibly insightful and emotional conversation.
