Podcast by SBJ/SBD
The SportsBusiness Journal podcast, also known as Buzzcast and hosted by Abe Madkour, is a must-listen for anyone in the sports industry. With 4-6 news stories covered in just 8-12 minutes each day, this podcast provides listeners with quick and concise updates on the latest happenings in the sports world. Whether you work in sports or simply follow the industry closely, Buzzcast is a valuable resource for gaining up-to-date information.
One of the best aspects of Buzzcast is its ability to provide listeners with current and relevant news stories in a short amount of time. In the fast-paced world of sports business, staying informed is crucial, and this podcast makes it easy to do so. Abe Madkour does an excellent job of summarizing key points and delivering them in an engaging manner. This podcast is perfect for busy professionals who want to stay in the loop without dedicating hours to reading articles or watching lengthy videos.
On the other hand, one of the worst aspects of Buzzcast is a minor annoyance that some listeners have pointed out. Bill King's habit of saying "uh huh" every time he agrees with someone on first look can be distracting and disrupt the flow of the conversation. While it may not greatly impact the overall quality of the podcast, it can be slightly irritating for those who notice it.
In conclusion, The SportsBusiness Journal podcast, Buzzcast, is an invaluable resource for anyone interested or involved in the sports industry.
