Sports Stories with Denny Lennon (2020)

A typical week might at SSDL might include: Tuesday - We cover, with social and historical perspective, one of the hundreds of sports murals that street artist Jonas Never (@never1959) has created around Los Angeles. Wednesday - Live show (virtual) "Preps to Olympians" where we might have prep columnist Eric Sondheimer from the LA Times give an update on CIF HS sports followed by an interview with 13 years old Track phenom Aliyah Johnson from Texas. Thursday - We drop our signature "video podcast", which I liken more to a "60 minutes" type long-form interview with post-produced backstory. Deep dive, many times in three or four parts, of people like Norm Bass, Sam Lagana, Jerry West or Karch Kiraly. Friday - Live show (virtual) "Happy Hour" that is fashioned in a "Tonight Show" style, where we once had Laker broadcaster Chris McGee announce HOF ring announcer Jimmy Lennon to the show who in turn announced world boxing champion Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini. That kind of variety, without losing quality, and finding the fun and/or unique story is what sets us apart.
