Mo Egger Podcast

The greatest two interviewers I've ever listened to on sports-talk radio are Dan Patrick and Andy Furman. Dan has said publicly that he hates being asked to appear on podcasts, so we're not getting him, but we did get Andy.
Andy spent years hosting "Sports Talk" on 700WLW, and he's spent well over a decade as a host of Fox Sports Radio. In the years when I was deciding that I wanted to do sports-talk radio, Andy was who I was listening to, and even though we didn't work with each other ton, I spent just enough time with him during my early years in the business to develop a deep appreciation for what he does, even if I don't always agree with what he says.
In our conversation, Andy discusses the art of the interview, how his on-air career began, what it was like to feud with sports figures like Bob Huggins and Sam Wyche, being on air locally versus doing shows nationally, and the things he's regretted saying on the air.
I wanted Andy as a guest because I wanted to try my hand at interviewing a great interviewer, and I hope you enjoy what I think is an entertaining conversation.

Amy Wagner is Cincinnati's financial authority.
Okay, so that might be overstating it just slightly, but as a financial reporter and anchor for Allworth Financial, she's become one of our area's most prominent voices when it comes to matters involving the economy and personal finances.
Amy is the host of the Simply Money Radio Show on 55KRC and the Simply Money Podcast. Her work is also seen on local television and on Cincinnati.com. What I love most about her work is she makes complex financial issues seem simple, without all the clutter you see on places like CNBC.
Amy pivoted to being a financial reporter after years of working in local TV. She spent years as an investigative reporter on Cincinnati television, and part of why I think she's so interesting is her pivot from more traditional TV work to a field she had no prior experience in.
In our conversation, you'll hear us talk about her career, her move to the world of financial reporting, and what it's like to do her job in the midst of some very weird economic times. We'll talk expensive gas, the pathway toward better financial times, my favorite all-time story about the stock market, how to talk to kids about money, what exactly crypto is, and whether I'll be able to pay for my daughter's college with my old baseball cards.
Amy is exceptionally fun to listen to and be around, I'm proud to call her a friend, and I was honored that she gave us some time for an interesting and fun conversation.

Angenette is a reporter and anchor for the Law and Crime Network. Since her days working in local television, I've always found myself more interested in the stories she covers because of the way she covers them.
I knew nothing about the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial but got hooked on it watching her reporting. I talked with Angenette about what it’s like covering a celebrity trial, how she deals with celebrity superfans, and her experience covering the Steven Avery trial as well her reaction to that case being the basis for Netflix’s Making a Murderer.
We also discussed Angenette’s big career pivot and my grandmother's reaction to it, the insane story behind solving an Amber Alert live on air, and her little-known appearance on the The Late Show With David Letterman.

I love talking to people who know a LOT about something I’m mostly clueless about, and episodes like this are why I did this project.

No better way to launch a podcast than a long talk with a sports media titan. What it was like starting in Cincinnati during a Super Bowl run and the Pete Rose scandal, navigating relationships with some of the biggest athletes in Tri-State history, how the job changed, and the birthplace of the TML. What happened during the Bengals most recent Super Bowl run that told him it was time to hang ‘em up, his surprising new job, and how interactions with athletes changed over the years.
