Chuck Garfien
Sports Anchor/ Host of White Sox Pre, Post Game Live & White Sox Talk Podcast
Chuck & I discuss:
His Chicago sports heroes as a child which leads to DePaul & Chicago Sting!
The moment that led him into the field of broadcasting.
How he went from Homewood-Flossmoor HS to USC in California?
Story on how he landed the job at WPBN in Traverse City, MI then doing solo anchoring for hours at ESPN News!
The movie: Slap Shot led him to his current position at NBC Sports Chicago and the story behind it.
Working with Ozzie Guillen, Frank Thomas that dives into the Field of Dreams Game trip where weather took over.
His 4-part Chicago Bears Doc Series & will there be any other doc series in future (hmm)?
The interview he still wants for The White Sox Talk Podcast, driving Eloy Jimenez to Wrigley Field, plus organist Nancy Faust!
Opening Day, favorite memory, talk about eulogies, and advice for those wanting to break into the sportscasting business.
