John Dahl: ESPN Films Executive Producer
Listen now
Description
Not because it rhymes with his name, but John Dahl has literally done IT ALL at ESPN. Getting his first byline as a senior in high school at the Charlotte News, Dahl has been on a road to success since his teenage years on Tobacco Road. From Sports Century to The Last Dance, Dahl has had his hand in hundreds of documentary projects at ESPN, and today he will take us down memory lane.  John’s experience and unique insight comes shining through in this latest edition of Beyond the Lens presented by Diesal Films.  We don’t focus on just one documentary instead we pepper john with questions about the vast array of docs he has been apart of during his long tenure at ESPN.  Be it The Two Escobars, The Last Dance or With Out Bias, John break down the role he played in bringing those and many other docs to life.  I really enjoyed hearing him discuss all of the friendships that he has developed over the year with personalities like Kenny Chesney.
