Sam Crenshaw has seen it all in his four decade career in sportscasting. As a kid, he fell in love with the voices "in the box" as he calls them...the radio voices who brought sports into the living room. He got the itch to learn more about the industry.
In a great conversation, we'll discuss his career path, and some of the changes he has seen in sports over the years as an African-American. He shares a memory from his childhood about the one and only time he was in the presence of Dr. Martin Luther King. It's a sad, but important memory for him.
Sam has worked in radio, TV, print, digital, podcasting...you name it..he has done it! And all the while, he is one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet, or listen to! He's had a great career and his story is compelling. Please enjoy our conversation with Sam Crenshaw.
