Sports in Arizona, beer and sports betting
The Doug Franz Unplugged podcast is a breath of fresh air in the sports media industry. As someone who has worked in the industry, I appreciate the behind-the-scenes insights and breakdowns of press conferences that only a seasoned veteran like Doug can provide. This podcast has opened my eyes to how networks often prioritize sharing the narratives of their executives and sports teams over contributing to meaningful discussion.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is Doug's hustle and openness in sharing his journey of starting a podcast and TV channel. It's inspiring to hear about his successes and struggles, and it adds an extra layer of authenticity to the content. The quality of the listening experience is excellent, with in-depth analysis that goes beyond what corporate radio offers. Unlike other shows that only focus on a few positions on a football team, Doug covers all 53 positions, providing a well-rounded perspective.
However, there are some drawbacks to this podcast. As with any new endeavor, the early episodes were a bit all over the place, but Doug has really found his stride in recent months. Additionally, as much as I enjoy hearing about Arizona sports, I sometimes find myself wanting more variety in terms of topics covered.
In conclusion, The Doug Franz Unplugged podcast is a must-listen for anyone who wants an authentic and real perspective on sports. Doug's departure from traditional radio was a loss for those stations but a gain for listeners who appreciate his unfiltered opinions and deep knowledge of Valley sports. Whether you're an avid fan or just getting into sports, this podcast provides valuable insights and entertainment that will keep you coming back for more.
