Episode 143 of the Sports Illustrated Media podcast features two guests: Kimberley A. Martin and Chad Millman. Martin will join the Washington Post in November to cover the Washington Redskins. She previously covered the Jets for Newsday and worked as a sports columnist for The Buffalo News. Millman is the new head of Media for The Action Network, which is a sports analysis company specializing in sports gambling information. He previously worked an ESPN’s vice president and editorial director of U.S. digital content.

 

In this podcast Martin discusses how she became a Washington Post reporter; the challenge of joining an NFL beat in the middle of the season; why she left the Buffalo News; being the only African-American female sports columnist at major U.S. daily; how she views Jemele Hill’s tenure at ESPN; working in the city of Buffalo; her thoughts on Barstool’s partnership (and its dissolution) with ESPN; how successful the Bills can be in 2017 and beyond; Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor’s relationship with the press, and much more.

 

Millman discusses why he took the job at The Action Network; how he plans to put together a staff; where sports gambling content is heading; what Sports Insights, FantasyLabs and SportsAction are; why he feels podcasts are an important business play in the sports gambling information space; why the betting audience grow; whether mainstream sports media outlets will have a gambling beat; why the line is a certain number; how he felt about ESPN’s dissolution with Barstool; where he looks for his gambling information; why minor sports such as WNBA give sharp bettors an advantage; how one becomes a sports oddsmaker and much more.
