In his weekly podcast, Hollywood And Levine, Ken Levine interviews arguably his most famous guest yet, NBC sports announcer Al Michaels.

Michaels talks about working the 1989 World Series in San Francisco, where a devastating earthquake struck before the game matching Bay Area teams, the Giants and The Oakland A's.   He also speaks of his switching networks from ABC to NBC.

Comedy Writer Ken Levine Podcasts A Hit

I'm not a fan of podcasts.  Who wants to sit down and listen to someone talking, usually for 20 minutes or an hour.  At the beginning of this year, Ken Levine, whose blog I've been reading for years, has started a series of podcasts covering his experiences in show business, radio, and everything related.  Although it is usually just him, his podcasts are fascinating.
The title of the series is Hollywood And Levine, on his first, he gave an entertaining behind the scenes recall of an award shows that he has been involved with.
Ken Levine has been blogging for over 10 years.  He is an Emmy winning comedy writer, baseball announcer, playwright, and book author.   He began his career as a top 40 DJ in LA radio.  He speaks in a very down to earth style but is never boring.
