How Betting, Covid-19 & a Generation That Doesn't Watch TV Has Changed Sports Broadcasts - a podcast by Ric Bucher, NBA insider; Ryan Hollins, ESPN; Will Blackmon, FS1/Fox Radio

Ric talks with long-time ESPN live-event producer Mandy Cohen about how TV broadcasts have changed with the introduction of gambling, announcers calling games remotely due to the pandemic and Gen Zs who consume everything through their phones and haven't been conditioned to watch entire games on TV. Cohen started her career producing Bulls' games for all of Jordan's championship runs in Chicago and Cubs' games with the legendary broadcaster Harry Caray and gives her take on The Last Dance, which she lived firsthand.
