About this episode
David Steele discusses his long tenure as the voice of the Orlando Magic and his journey in sports broadcasting.
David Steele was one of the very first employees of the Orlando Magic and now one of the longest tenured announcers in the NBA. He was the Magic's first radio announcer starting in 1989, eventually moving to television in 1998, where he currently works alongside former Magic player Jeff Turner. Before coming to Orlando, David served as the play-by-play voice of the Florida Gators and worked at local TV stations in the Southeast. His numerous accolades include induction into the Orlando Magic Hall of Fame in 2019, when he joined a roster that includes Shaquille O'Neal, Penny Hardaway, and Dwight Howard. He's an ambassador for the franchise and a role model to many -- myself included.
