1. This week’s SI Media Podcast, which dropped Thursday morning, features a conversation with legendary radio host Chris “Mad Dog” Russo.
Russo, who will be inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame on Nov. 1, discussed everything from his daily SiriusXM radio show to his run as a weekly cohost on First Take to a variety of current sports headlines.
Along the way, the Mad Dog dropped some news. In addition to revealing that Stephen A. Smith will induct him into the Radio Hall of Fame in a couple of weeks, Russo also gave the inside scoop on what happened after he went on The Howard Stern Show in June and told Stern that ESPN is paying him $10,000 an episode for First Take.
