Rich Take On Sports
Show Notes:
Rich Spotlight: Scott Shapiro Still feels amazing to be in Los Angeles working in radio even though it took a leap of faith moving from the east coast with a pregnant wife The promise of the opportunity with Fox Sports Radio of working with the brand and the people has been even more than he could have imagined Grew up in Minneapolis and loves all Minnesota teams even though they seem to always disappoint Knew early on that he wanted to be on the business side of things within radio Attended Emory University in Atlanta and eventually took a job with ESPN for a short period of time before moving back to Atlanta to work at 790 The Zone Never thought that he would leave Atlanta but ESPN came calling and he spent almost 9-years in Bristol, CT Most memorable moment for him was in 2008 after a celebrity softball game in Washington, DC with “Mike & Mike” and being able to meet President Bush while Kenny Chesney played a private concert The drama of sports and the intimacy of radio is why so many people still gravitate towards sports talk radio Words of Wisdom from Scott Shapiro: “Give it a shot and always keep things in perspective.”Social Media:
