It is simple, this is an important episode. Why? Because I am talking to a true professional. Some say this may even be my first celebrity interview, and why not go big with WHSV’s Weekend Sports Anchor and Reporter, Bryan Schwartz. I want to be clear, this guy is going places, he’s done amazing work in his early career as a sports journalist and anchor. With that, we will see him be a household name in the future and it was nothing but an honor to have him come on my show. We talked about how he went from college student journalist, to sports anchor at an ABC affiliate. We talk about how he views the term “fake news”. We chat about his time interning at the legendary WFAN radio station in New York City. We also get really honest on the Yankees, Mets, Giants, Jets, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders, PGA, and much, much more. We also talk about his other hobbies besides sports. This is a great one! I am very proud of it. (2:42)
