S1E2 -- Meet the legendary Steve King : Part Two (The announcer)
I continue my conversation with Ultraman race announcer Steve King. In this episode, we focus on how he became an announcer and what it takes for him to deliver such great material. Even at a belly flop contest.
In the Ultraman Canada 2021 athlete profile section, I speak with a Japanese athlete, Makoto Hoshino, who has climbed the Seven Summits. We talk about growth and the lessons he learned taking on the challenge. You will be surprised by his answers.
