Episode 2: Andy Clarke
08/28/20 • 34 min
Ste sat down (virtually) with Andy Clarke from Sky Sports to discuss how he first broke into the world of sports media as a runner before he was sent to commentate on a few sports that he wasn't all too familiar with.
Andy then describes what it's like to be in the firing line of the public when he is asked to analyse and score fights.
The duo also talk about Andy's process of how to prepare ahead of a big fight and how he has to be ready at any stage for a major turn of events, such as Alexander Povetkin knocking out Dillian Whyte.

Ste spoke to the trailblazing Mark Scott, the first BAME commentator on Match of the Day, to see how he broke into the sports media industry and how he went from getting his foot in the door to commentating on the most iconic sports TV show in the world.
