Have you ever wondered what it takes to make it as the person behind the microphone, calling some of the biggest moments in sport?
As a commentator, you put the lyrics to the music created by some of the world's top sportspeople - and when you get it right, there's no feeling quite like it.
So today on the podcast, we’ve got a special compilation episode featuring some of the best commentators that we’ve had on the show since 2018, discussing their careers in the industry and sharing some top tips on how to be a success in it.
This is a whistle-stop tour round the commentary boxes of the UK and further afield, as we discuss the art with a whole range of brilliant guests.
On this show, you’ll hear from:
- Test Match Special’s Scott Read - Commentary legend Bob Ballard - eSports commentator James ‘Stress’ O’Leary - Rugby commentator Nick Heath - Wrestling commentator Dave Bradshaw - BBC Radio Manchester’s Manchester City commentator Mike Minay.
It’s a fantastic look at what the reality of life as a commentator is like, from breaking into the industry to how to master the craft – and we think it’s a cracker.
