PASR02: John Kincade

“Don’t aspire to be liked.  Aspire to be respected.” – John Kincade

Today’s guest is John Kincade, with whom I’ve struck up an accord here within the last year or so, via Twitter (because, of course, right?)

John Kincade is a rarity in this business.  Not only because he’s been employed by multiple national sports talk radio networks (he’s currently solo-hosting weekends on CBS Sports Radio), but because he’s somehow been able to co-exist with the same co-host in a major market for 15 years!  That’s insane and awesome–which is probably a lovable definition for his show, “Buck and Kincade” on 680 The Fan in Atlanta.

Check out more of the show notes to get a feel for what you will hear in this edition of The PASR.

I hope you enjoy and, as always, leave a comment to get out anything that this podcast had you thinking along the way.

INSIDE THIS EPISODE…

  • John talks about he used to lay in bed in his adolescence and listen to nighttime sports talk on a news-talker in Philadelphia, which got him fascinated about the biz at a young age.
