If you've watched a sporting event at any point over the last 20 years, chances are pretty good that you've listened to a Jimmy Roberts interview.
I'm Amy Rogers, host of the GWAA podcast, and this month, the tables were turned on the veteran sportscaster, who was instead the one taking the questions, as I had a chance to interview Roberts.
We chatted not only about what he thinks has been the key to his longevity in sports media, but he also dished on the three pieces of advice he shares with his own three sons.
But before we dove into some of those topics, I wanted to learn more about Roberts' newest venture, Big Swing Media.
Roberts explains how it got started and how an interesting fact about McDonald's led to its creation.
