Welcome to the 19th episode of the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast with Richard Deitsch. In this podcast, which is published weekly, Deitsch interviews members of the sports media about their work, and interesting people about the sports media.

This week's guest is ESPN anchor and reporter Suzy Kolber. In the episode, Kolber discusses how she prepares for Monday Night Countdown and NFL Insiders, how she has maintained her longevity on-air, why she left ESPN for Fox in the late 1990s, her thoughts on her 2003 Monday Night Football interview with Joe Namath where the Pro Football Hall Of Famer said on-air he wanted to kiss her (and later apologized), raising a child as a single mother while working in the sports media, the impact her parents had on her (her father is Gene Kaye, a well-known radio personality in Pennslyvania) and much more.
