This week, Michael Hurley welcomes Sports Hub host Rob Poole -- better known to listeners as "Hardy" -- on the podcast (2:35). Hardy talks about how he landed a role acting as an extra in a David Ortiz commercial (6:30), and he reveals how he got his nickname (8:08) and recalls his time as a DJ for WBCN (11:00) while discussing the decline of major rock radio stations. Hardy also talked about what life was like working as a DJ for a rock station in Las Vegas (21:38). He then shares the experience of transitioning into sports talk radio on the Hub in 2009 (26:08) and the many challenges that come with it. And the conversation couldn't end with Hardy being asked what it's like to work next to Scott Zolak every day for eight years (47:00).
