A few years ago my mom introduced me to NFL RedZone and my football watching life has never been the same. This program highlights every touchdown, every field goal, every major play, and more during the 7+ hours the NFL is on Sunday afternoon. No commercials means there's no opportunity to leave your couch, but you wouldn't want to knowing that every significant play of the week will be shown to you. At the helm of this television masterpiece is my guest for Episode 124, Scott Hanson. We talk about his five hour audition for the role of host, the exponential growth in popularity of the program and why he has the most discussed bladder in television. It was a real honor having Scott on my podcast and I know you're in for a treat. Enjoy. Follow Scott on Twitter at @ScottHanson and learn more about NFL RedZone at nfl.com/redzonetv Run Time - 20:30 Send your feedback to feedback@justtalkingpodcast.com. |

Bennet Dunlap joins me this week to talk about raising two children with diabetes, what makes Disney a special place, his favorite Top Gear episodes, sports in Philadelphia and most importantly, the power of community support. I often stand on a soap box and sing high praises of what the diabetes online community is capable of, Bennet provides plenty of examples over the next hour of how a network of apparent strangers can make all the difference in the lives of the people you care about most. Oh, and there's also some discussion about the shoes people wear at Disney World. You'll have to listen to understand what that one is about. Enjoy. Bennet blogs over at YDMV.net and tweets @BadShoe.
