Ken Rosenthal and Tom Verducci on the Yankees-Dodgers World Series

Episode 443 of the Sports Media Podcast with Richard Deitsch features Ken Rosenthal and Tom Verducci, who are serving as dugout reporters for Fox Sports for the Dodgers-Yankees World Series. Both Verducci and Rosenthal have long careers as accomplished writers; Verducci works for Sports Illustrated while Rosenthal writes for The Athletic. (I have worked with both.) In this podcast Rosenthal and Verducci discuss why this World Series feels so big; how they prepare for their Fox TV work versus writing; the potential viewership of this World Series; why we sometimes see on social media sometimes some fans not happy with in-game MLB interviews; how they approach the post-game interview; the Series impact on Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto when it comes to legacy and more.
