Scott Merkin and Randy Merkin Talk Impressive Sports Media Careers! (Sports Talk Chicago / WCKG 6-26-20)

On today’s show, I catch up with Scott Merkin, Chicago White Sox Beat Writer for MLB.com, and Randy Merkin, Assistant Program Director and Executive Producer of Waddle and Silvy on ESPN 1000! We discuss their journeys in the sports media landscape, and their start at Homewood-Flossmoor High School’s radio station. We also talk about the art of booking guests, and the importance of relationship-building within the industry. Later in the show, Scott and Randy recount their funniest career moments, plus battle it out in a best of five contest of Seinfeld trivia!
