“LEAVE YOUR GENDER AND POLITICAL OPINIONS OUT OF IT. Just search sports media podcast and you’ll find one who don’t bring their 2023 “hip” opinions into it. I bet he’s a triple vaxer”

“The On Field Interviews are awful. They shrink the screen and diminish live action. They occasionally miss pitches entirely and almost always pick up the action when the ball is out of the pitcher’s hand creating awkward moments as if the broadcaster is under the delusion of Whst could possibly...”Read full review »

“Anchored in the ecosystem, and clearly respected by his peers, Dietch never fails to inform and entertain. Is there any guest that Antonetti can’t get for this guy?
On a personal note, I’ve made The Sports Media podcast my nightly “go to sleep” listen. Doing so has greatly increased the...”Read full review »

“Richard, you can’t say “sort of” 70 times per episode. You’re saying it multiple times in the same parentheticals. Please.”

“Richard has discussions with people associated with sports that I don’t follow, and leaves me informed with a new understanding of why people like that sport. His guests are among the power brokers of media and sports. He must have a hell of a Rolodex or contacts list in his phone.”

“Hey guys, I am a long time listener of Richard when he was on the air with Bob McCowan on his radio show in Toronto. Always a great voice on all types of sports. Also being American and now living in Canada, Richard brings a dual aspect on how he looks at sports from both countries.
I just...”Read full review »

“Richard is terrific and I enjoy the pod very much. I do believe the recent show with Andrew M was not the best listen. I felt on this occasion Richard “over talked” and was a bit long winded on his delivery of the questions. And he stepped on the guest more than I’d ever heard before. He is...”Read full review »

“Great pod overall. Love the long-form interviews even if I don’t catch them all. Where the show really shines for me are the mini episodes with a guest or two that break down ratings for big sporting events at a given moment in time.

“The show is great. But when there’s multiple guests, Richard’s voice level is uneven. He sometimes interrupts guests. And James Andrew Miller clearly hates it when Richard teases him—so awkward to listen to. I only know this because I listen to so many episodes.”
