From Sports Anchor to Sports Professor: Kevin Hull's Sports Journey and Where New Tech is Taking the Sports Industry

On this edition of The Chad Whittle Podcast, Chad is joined by Dr. Kevin Hull, an Associate Professor and Sports Media Lead in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of South Carolina. In their discussion, they focus on Hull's background in radio and sports media production as well as his current role as an associate professor. They also explore how local sports broadcasting has changed over time and how it brings communities together. Later in the interview, they discuss Twitter and how social media has influenced sports broadcasting. The former sports reporter and anchor also recounts one of his most memorable sporting events: a minor league soccer game in Wilmington, North Carolina. Through this experience he realized that teaching was his true passion, which led him to transition from sports journalism to professor. He has since published a textbook on sports broadcasting through Human Kinetics.
