Podcast: Bedard on the SI Media Podcast with Richard Deitsch

If you're interested in sports media and the background of how BSJ came about and where we're going (with your help, of course) you might be interested in this. The whole thing is good (DK is the godfather), but my stint starts one hour in, and with about 33 minutes remaining.

Episode 139 of the Sports Illustrated Media podcast features three independent sports journalists: Dejan Kovacevic, the founder, editor and writer of DKPittsburghsports.com; Paul Kuharsky, the founder and writer of PaulKuharsky.com, and Greg Bedard, founder and columnist for BostonSportsJournal.com.

Bedard discusses why he started his site after being let go by Sports Illustrated; the challenges of competing in the highly-charged Boston market; how much money he put into the site; why there is so much interest in Celtics and Patriots content; why Patriots coach Bill Belichick would be a dream staffer; what he thinks of The Athletic; what lessons he has learned after a couple of months of business; what the ceiling is for his site, and much more.



Note: If you are having trouble with the BSJ App timing out during podcasts (we're working on it), the best solution is to go to our page at PodBean (https://bostonsportsjournal.podbean.com/), download their app and subscribe to our podcasts. They won't timeout, and you'll get them automatically. Thanks!
