Mitch Unfiltered Does Live Audience Podcast

Former KJR Sports Radio host Mitch Levy continues his interesting and inciteful Mitch Unfiltered  podcasts, Monday for free and Thursdays if you are a patron of the show.

With all sports at a halt, Levy has been experimenting with various topics and plans.  Today's podcast, which was recorded yesterday, was done in front of a live Zoom audience that I  briefly watched.

Toward the end of the podcast, he engaged the viewers,along with co-host Hot Shot Scott in discussion. 

Today, Levy, who does not like being on TV, said on Twitter, that it was fun. 

One Year For Mitch Levy Podcast

The Mitch Unfiltered podcast is one year old, former sports radio talk show host, Mitch Levy has proclaimed. The podcast which Levy returned to the public "ear" has been an outstanding wrap up of local, national and world sports in the unique Mitch spin.

Levy was KJR sports radio host for over 20 years when an arrest ended his long career with the station. The podcast, encouraged in part by Levy's Twitter followers, was started 15 months later.  

With a free episode on Monday and an episode for subscribers on Thursday, Mitch has several area sponsors for his show.  He is joined on the podcast by co-host Scott Soden, a former KJR producer. 

Mitch Delivers Touching Interview With Author Steven Elliott

Mitch Levy, once the host of Sportsradio KJR's morning program has once again shown that he can deliver a great human interest interview on his now, once a week podcast.
On this week's show, Levy interviews Steven Elliott, the author of War Story.
To back things up, there is a sports angle to this story.  In 2004, Pat Tillman of the Arizona Cardinals, quit football to volunteer for US Army.  Of course, at the time, the country was mourning 9/11.   He was later reported to have been a war casualty.  First reported to be a victim of an enemy ambush and then revealed to be a victim of "friendly fire."
Steven Elliott is reported to be one of two soldier that may be responsible for Tillman's death.  Elliott has gone through life carrying the guilt of someone who most likely snuffed out the life of someone considered an American hero.
You can hear Levy interview Elliott, now a resident of Olympia about 40 minutes into the podcast by clicking here.

Levy Podcast Offers Stroke Info

Mitch Levy's podcast, known as Mitch Unfiltered, took a serious turn from the usual wisecracking and sports talk with a segment on recognizing the warning signs of a stroke.
Mitch has become concerned about stroke risk after hearing about a college basketball player suffering from one and also the untimely death of Luke Perry.
The segment, at 45 minutes into the podcast, features an interview with Dr. Sarah Lee, who is with the Stanford University Stroke Center Team.

Levy Podcast A Hit

How do you know if a podcast is successful?  I don't know, but I have noticed the podcast by former KJR Sports Radio morning host Mitch Levy, Mitch Unfiltered is amazingly well produced, with sponsors like Bellevue Land Rover, Daniel's Broiler, and Zeek's Pizza.  

With 2 episodes a week, usually lasting over an hour and a half, Levy has covered a lot of ground with analysis, nostalgia, and the style unique to his long running radio show.

  As far as I know, this is an independent venture from Levy's living room, yet, the sound is professional.  

A tip of the hat to Jason Hamilton, Levy's straight man, wing man, co-host on the venture.

Emotional Apology From Levy

Former SportsRadio 950 morning man Mitch Levy started his first podcast, Mitch Unfiltered in his usual wisecracking style.  Levy, who had commanded the mornings on the station for well over 20 years, has been off the air since an arrest in a Bellevue prostitution sting in August of 2017.  

About 15 minutes into the podcast, Levy's voice started to break as he spoke of what he felt led him into the situation.  He emotionally apologized to his family, his co-workers and his listeners.  

Levy said that strong support that he received on twitter helped lift his spirits and motivated him to return.   The next podcast, according to Levy will have ex-UW coach Rick Neuheisel as a guest.  You can hear Mitch Unfiltered by clicking here.
