are you telling me there's a podcast just for sports broadcasters? Welcome to the Sportscasters Club radio show, where it's all about becoming a better sportscaster on a better sports fan. And now your host, Rick Shults. Welcome to the Sportscasters Club online radio show. I am Rick Schultz. It is great to have you here. Welcome to Episode number One Sportscasters Club Radio Show is your place to become a better sportscaster and become a better sports fan. You know, this This community of Sportscasters club started about 10 years ago and it really began because we wanted people to have a place to come toe learn the secrets of sportscasting. I think back to when I was a young boy, maybe 10 12 years old. And I thought about where did I learn at that age? And really, at that time there was there was really no place to go. There were no professionals out there teaching this on a on a wide scale like weaken do with technology today. And so sportscasters club began for that purpose to be that place that you can learn you can become a better sportscaster, learned the secrets, learn how to improve learned the nuts and bolts of sports broadcasting, but also where people can become a better sports fan because that's really what I started to see. People would look at this even if they were not necessarily aiming to be a sportscaster, but they would enjoy it and they would find out a lot of things about the sports broadcasting industry. And they said it made him a better fan. So that's really something that's been a nice thing to see as Sportscasters Club has evolved over the last decade, and that's really what this Sportscasters Club radio show is going to be. It's going to be the place where you learn the nuts and bolts, and this is a lot of the things that I've taken from my career over the past 25 years, when I will. As I mentioned when I was 10 12 years old, I didn't have a place to go toe learn about sportscasting. But the's air, the things and these were the secrets, and you'll learn about many of the things that that I took in, not only from doing it, whether it be broadcasting in professional baseball, first in the Tampa Bay Devil Rays organization and then with the New York Yankees up to their Double A team in Norwich, Connecticut. Or maybe my time broadcasting Army, basketball and hockey from West Point and working on the football broadcasts and being a part of Army sports. That was, Ah, great part of my career. And also I attended Fordham University, the legendary WFUV radio, and was mentored, thereby Marty Glickman and Bob Errands, which was a huge thrill. And we would meet with Marty every week and go through our sports casting and go through the nuts and bolts. And if you know sportscasting, if you know the history and the pioneering names of sportscasting, you know Marty Glickman. And if you're too young to know Marty, Google him because you'll see a lot and you may even see his documentary, which is a really great television program that HBO put out a few years back. But those are some of the places that I learned, and then certainly when I went on to to build my career and work at many other places in the sports broadcasting industry and then transition as well into coaching, whether it was at Marist college, whether it was at the Connecticut School of Broadcasting or then when I went back to Fordham University to become the sports director at WFUV. That was a great thrill. And many of the teaching methods, the teaching opportunities, the things we talked about were developed from those places. So I've taught thousands of students with these same areas of specific focus, whether it's play by play, talk show, hosting, sports, reporting, writing behind the scenes production, all the different areas that you that go into building a sports broadcasting career, we're gonna touch on those as we proceed with the Sportscasters Club radio show. And I think one of the most exciting parts of this program is going to be the question and answer period where you get to ask us questions and we'll give you some of the real world answers to your specific questions. So that's what's gonna be part of this ongoing radio show as well. We're gonna have guests down the road, so this is really going to be the place that you want to be.
