About this episode
Margaret Larkin interviews sportscaster George Ofman about his career and new book ten years after their last conversation.
I interviewed sportscaster George Ofman with Dave Kerner at WBBM Newsradio ten years ago and wanted to get an update because he's written a book, Tell Me a Story I Don't Know, based on his popular podcast series, and now has a new career. He talks about writing for radio, storytelling with sound, his long radio broadcasting career at The Score/WSCR, WMAQ, WGN, WBBM Newsradio, NPR, the BBC, and in Canada at the CBC and CJCL. He's had a lot of success for several years and even got an awesome job at Midtown Athletics: that's the story he wants to tell. This is from a livestream that we did.
