KCRW's The Score Podcast

KCRW's The Score Podcast

by Diana Nyad




Twenty-four hours a day in every city in America, you can hear shock jock radio types screaming their outrage at the latest sports scandal. The din has become so loud and so steady that I, for one, am thirsting for the poetry, the sociology, the philosophy of sports. On "The Score," I hope to tell poignantly inspirational stories, cover the broad spectrum of characters who play parts in the sports world and lift listeners to feel a passion for sports, as I do.

Write a Review of KCRW's The Score Podcast

pgmd2, February 17, 2006
Reviewer: pgmd2

KCRW Santa Monica’s podcast “The Score” with host Diana Nyad is different than other podcasts that I have reviewed. It features the host giving a monologue on some sports-related topic from scandals such as players on steroids to lacrosse tournaments. The podcast is part editorial, part news report, and part descriptive story.

“The Score” podcast does hold your attention as the host speaks quite quickly without pauses or breaks. The audio quality is good and Nyad’s has a gift for descriptive storytelling. I have given it a 4 out of 5 stars and would recommend anyone interested in sports to listen to this podcast.

Where Have You Gone, Joe DiMaggio?

Author: Podcast:Talkpodmaster@kcrw.org (Diana Nyad)
Thu, Jul 17, 2008


One of sport's hallowed temples, one of America's cultural cathedrals, showcased gloriously at this week's All-Star classic, is closing down at the end of the season. I'm not a die-hard Yankee fan. Not like my friend Arlene who will suffer through every at-bat, every double play, from this time of the season forward, literally unable to leave the house if her Bronx Bombers have a crucial loss. I'm just one of millions who revere the history and the magical moments, Lou Gehrig's farewell and all, of Yankee Stadium. I'm just one of millions who has her own small, personal story of Yankee Stadium to tell...

World Class over 40

Author: Podcast:Talkpodmaster@kcrw.org (Diana Nyad)
Thu, Jul 10, 2008


The heartbreak of world-class sports is that an athlete retires while she's still young, oftentimes never to excel or find such passion again. And yet a 41-year old promises to be the darling of the Beijing Games...

Babashoff et al

Watching the Swimming Olympic Trials this week is on one hand inspiring, seeing world records fall, anticipating the excitement of following these athletes through to their dreams in China---understanding the many hours and days and years of discipline these athletes have put in. Just to make the final eight in any given Trials event takes special talent, extraordinary sacrifice. But it unnerves me when the gun goes off, knowing that after a mere minute or two of supreme physical and mental effort, after a long decade of dedication, only two will go to Beijing. The others, after all those laps, all those 5am workouts, all those lofty dreams, will go on to the rest of their lives...

Kobe No Michael Jordan

Author: Podcast:Talkpodmaster@kcrw.org (Diana Nyad)
Thu, Jun 19, 2008


Going into the Final Championship series against the Celtics, Kobe Bryant was compared often to Michael Jordan. Kobe, the NBA's regular season MVP, the greatest athlete since the great MJ. Now that the Celtics have whooped the Lakers for those NBA Championship rings, it is abundantly apparent that Kobe is in fact no Jordan...

Future US Open Champ

Remember this name: Ben Doyle. This weekend, down at San Diego's Torrey Pines, the world's best golfers vie for the U.S. Open Championship title. Michelson, Goosen, Garcia, Tiger. Ten years from now, a name very likely in the Open hunt just might be Ben Doyle...

Lakers-Celtics, Take 3

Author: Podcast:Talkpodmaster@kcrw.org (Diana Nyad)
Thu, Jun 05, 2008


It never makes sense to me when analysis of an upcoming game or series includes the records of the teams from bygone eras. If the Colts and the Packers face off, for instance, analysts go back decades and talk about how the Baltimore Colts fared against Green Bay so long ago that today's Indianapolis Colts find the conversation irrelevant...

MLB Instant Replay

Thu, May 29, 2008


Major League Baseball is considering instant replay. Commissioner Bud Selig says he's open to the concept. He has put it "under advisement." Why "under advisement?" Why not hammer it down and make it official…as of tomorrow?..

Danica, the Real Deal

Author: Podcast:Talkpodmaster@kcrw.org (Diana Nyad)
Thu, May 22, 2008


It's been 31 years since the first woman driver started the most famous of all car races, the Indianapolis 500. It was an historic and also poetic moment. I remember it well. Memorial Day weekend, 1977. The starter's usual "Gentlemen, start your engines" was changed for Janet Guthrie, who sat behind her wheel in the line-up in the grid. "In the company of the first lady to race the Indianapolis 500, gentlemen, start your engines!" Guthrie had three Indy starts, in the end, and wound up with a ninth-place as her best finish at the Brickyard. You would think with the 31 years of women's progress since then that women would be old news at Indy. Women are wrestling and boxing and playing professional football. But in the pits of Indy racing, women are still earning their stripes...

Annika

One of the great athletes of our time announced her retirement this week. Swedish born, now Florida resident Annika Sorenstam, will play out the rest of this season and then step away from the game she has dominated for more than a decade. Well, she'll actually still be in the thick of the game with her businesses of designing courses, branding clothing, and running academies, but she's hanging up her competitive cleats...
