BSM Podcast Episode 11: Jorge Sedano – ESPN LA 710

Jason Barrett

Published

on

Speculation about Mike Francesa’s radio future grows as the WFAN talk show host inches closer to the end of his contract. After leaving the door open for a possible Mike and the Mad Dog reunion, Jason examines the possibility of Francesa-Russo 2.0 and lays out some options that could be available to New York’s leading sports radio voice.

The featured guest on this episode is sports radio veteran Jorge Sedano. During the past two decades Jorge has built a name for himself on the national stage with ESPN and FOX Sports Radio, in Miami on 790 The Ticket and WQAM, and in Los Angeles where he presently hosts morning drive alongside Keyshawn Johnson and LZ Granderson on ESPN LA 710. During the conversation Jorge shares his thoughts on numerous tricks of the trade, explains why investing in yourself pays off, expresses his disappointment with sports talk’s lack of minority voices, takes aim at those who are singling out ESPN, and informs listeners of the various stages and challenges he’s faced during his broadcasting career.
