HoS: Colin Cowherd

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com

When Colin Cowherd of Fox Sports and the Volume podcasting network stopped by HoS, I wanted to pick his brain on industry subjects. As expected, he was a stupendously entertaining font of behind scenes takes. As a TV sports talk king and a podcasting network founder, he sees the modern content economy from different perspectives all at once. So we get into that, plus a lot more, as we freestyle 90 minutes of loose talk. Enjoy. This podcast includes but is not limited to discussion of the following topics… * Choosing storytelling over big names in sports talk * On talking politics in sports media and whether ESPN had too much of it * How Colin manages his podcast personalities * Why did Colin bet big on Nick Wright early on? * How does Colin balance Draymond Green being on his network with Draymond being an occasional sports talk subject? * Could Colin ever employ Aaron Rodgers as a podcaster given how frequently he’s critiqued the finicky quarterback? * Why can’t baseball be part of the sports conversation? * Are tight ends massively underpaid? * Tony Romo’s broadcast struggles * Does Colin really screen potential hires to make sure they aren’t golf nuts?
