Podcast: All Even Podcast

Reason for Podcast: I started my podcast after graduating the Connecticut School of Broadcasting in October 2019. The pandemic hit, my school folded and wiped out my resources. Instead of crying about it I went to work and created the All Even Podcast. From the ground up I am creating something special that hopefully people will enjoy and never be cheated because I do not hold back. Be yourself , even if it's unpopular.

Favorite sports moments: Lakers beat Portland in game 7 to advance to the 2000 NBA Finals. Lebron and Cavs beat GSW in the 2016 Finals, Mets clinch 2000 Pennant, Kobe getting 81.

Top 5 all time players: Lebron, Kobe, Bill Russell, Ken Griffey, Barry Bonds

Top 5 currently: Lebron James, Aaron Rodgers, Francisco Lindor, Roman Reigns, Ja Morant

Podcast: Carving It Up With Bryson Carver

Reason for Podcast: I’ve always had a love for sports and talking about them since I can remember. One day, my parents suggested I start a podcast to talk about the latest events in sports multiple times a week. Following my sister coming up with the name of the show, Carving It Up has been available to listen since October of 2019.

Since then, I’ve been able to take the show live on YouTube and interact with all those who comment during the streams. The show has grown so much since it’s inception and I’m ecstatic to see where it continues to go from here!

Favorite Sports Moment: Tom Brady leading the most improbable comeback in Super Bowl history against the Atlanta Falcons, which I believe cemented him as the G.O.A.T QB

Top 5 Athletes of All Time: Tom Brady, Steph Curry, Kobe Bryant, Peyton Manning, Dak Prescott

Podcast: Clutch Sports Talk

Reason for Podcast: My journey began during the 2020 NFL Draft. I remember being on social media that night looking through various posts and I could not believe what I was reading. For some reason I decided to hop on Facebook Live and began breaking down the picks and provided in depth analysis. In moments people began to watch my live stream and started to interact with me. The night ended and I said to myself “That was fun as hell!!” Days went by and I decided to create a podcast and the rest is history. It was very challenging starting a sports podcast during a pandemic! Nonetheless I made it work! I began with the NFL draft followed by sports related topics such as “Youth Sports” and “What happened to the African American baseball player”.

These days I find myself focusing my efforts on the sport I love! Football consumes my life and I love sharing my knowledge with folks on Sunday Mornings hosting my Clutch Sports Talk NFL Sunday Morning show. Never in a million years did I think I would start an audio podcast and then turn that into a live show. I never wanted to settle, I always wanted to keep getting better. On all my lives I always finish with this statement. “This is Clutch Sports Talk NFL Sunday Morning with Ryan Flowers! Never settle until the work is done!”

Favorite Sports Moment: 1992 Dallas Cowboys Superbowl win over the Buffalo Bills at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

Podcast: Cowboys CanFan

Reason for Podcast: Anthony has been a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan for 20+ years and in September 2020 he started talking Dallas Cowboys news and more using apple headphones as a microphone and uploading it as an audio only podcast. Then he dusted off his old laptop, got the camera working, and started making a video of it, too.

One year later, Adam and Alex saw potential in Anthony after his social media gained 2000 followers and jumped on the "bandwagon", helping to upgrade Anthony's living room show into a studio podcast.

Favorite Sports Moment: Alex: Sidney Crosby scoring the golden goal for Canada to beat the USA in the 2010 Olympics is one of sport's most magic moments and something I will never forget.
Anthony: Beast Quake!!! Marshawn Lynch playoff run again the Saints.
Adam: 1995 survivor series Ladder match HBK vs Razor Ramon.

Podcast: Outside the Cage

Why We Started The Podcast - We both grew up as more traditional basketball, football and baseball fans. But as we got older, we both started to turn into MMA fanatics. One night during a UFC card, we were texting each other the whole time about every fight and having some really good conversations. After the card, Jalen said “We should start an MMA podcast” and the rest was history.

the rest was history.

Podcast: Boyz N The Zone

Reason for Podcast: I’ve been a HUGE fan of the Dallas Cowboys since I’ve been about 7 years old. Thus, I heavily followed tons of Cowboys Content Creators such as, Voch Lombardi, Skywalker Steele, Foots the King, and GRYDs very own Cowboys CanFan. Through being in chats with them I actually got invited on the show and thoroughly enjoyed it, while also receiving good feedback from others! I then decided to create my own show and Twitter account following the Cowboys and everything in relation!

Favorite Sports Moment: My favorite sports moment for me would have to be watching the Kansas Jayhawks Basketball team win the 2021 National Championship after being down double digits at half against UNC.

Favorite Top 5 Athletes of all-time:

Tony Romo: He made Cowboys Football fun again, just watching him go from UDFA to Pro-Bowler and eventually to franchise record holder for the ‘Boys made my youth exciting!

Pistol Pete Maravich: Growing up I played basketball starting at the age of 5. One day my father brought home a movie called “The Pistol” which followed a young, scrawny basketball player who’s drive and determination led him to being one of the greatest college players of all time— and a pretty good PRO as well! The story resonated with me and pushed me to practice much more at a young age, allowing me to make my middle school and high school teams despite being the shortest player on the teams!

Dak Prescott: 2016 a young EJ was just getting into scouting and one of the very first players I fell in love with during the process was Mississippi States Rayne Dakota Prescott. I instantly told all of my friends and family that the Cowboys should draft him due to Romos injured past, and eventually that became reality!

Paul Pierce: The Jayhawk legend led me to become a Boston Celtics Fan, and despite the lack of team success until the “Big 3” was formed I remained a huge fan of he and the C’s— and still do till this day!

Larry Bird: Another Celtics Legend that became one of my favorites of all time after watching numerous rerun games one night on the NBA network as a kid. His scoring, determination, athleticism, and competitiveness were amazing, but he was one of the greatest passers in league history in my opinion too, and that’s what made me fall in love with Larry Legend!

Favorite Five Current Athletes : Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs, Jayson Tatum, Gradey Dick (hometown legend)

Podcast Name: Boston Sports Summit

Reason for Podcast: I grew up during the perfect time of Boston Sports. I was able to see all 4 of the teams win a championship & its something I have always been passionate about. After working in football with the Florida Gators, AAF, & Pro Football Focus, Covid hit & changed everything. That change led me down a path where I wanted to get into sports broadcasting. I have several podcasts & wanted to focus on teams that I grew up cheering for. I am excited for this opportunity where I can talk about all 4 of my favorite teams!

Favorite Sports Moment: Hard to choose from: Vinatieri’s snow bowl kick, SB XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, Red Sox break the curse, ’08 Beat LA, Bruins Cup in 2011, Bruins Leafs Game 7 2013, Red Sox 2013 WS, Super Bowl XLIX, LI, LIII, etc.

Podcast: Khaotik Sports Podcast

Reason for podcast: The reason I started my podcast was to bring a different perspective on current sports topics. My inspiration came from a lifelong battle with mental health and turning pain into comfort. With that, "khaos" was born through my Instagram. As a fellow Full Sail University student, this was an opportunity to sharpen my voice and prepare me for sports broadcasting; rather it be digital media platforms or in studio production.

On a personal branding note, I want to separate myself from others by staying true to who I am. Flashy splashed with swagger, laser locked focused on the tasks at hand. My expression rarely changes; I don't smile too often.

Favorite Sports Moment: Michael Jordan winning his 4th title on Father's Day 1996.

Top 5 Athletes of All Time: Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Deion Sanders, Ken Griffey Jr.

Favorite Current Athlete: LeBron James
