Cameron Hughes and Benjamin Hill highlight the September Podcast. Cameron joins live from the US Open where he is playing a starring role and getting fans engaged in the event. He shares how you can use the US Open’s example of taking chances in your own show as well as discussing his new haircut.
Benjamin Hill talks about his recent West Coast Road Trip and looks at some early favorite for Best of 2016 from the world of minor league baseball, including high praise for the Fresno Tacos, San Jose Giants and Spokane Indians. Hill and Cudo also talk Bobble Elections and the New Hampshire Primaries (the team not the elections) and some fine-tuned details from the Akron RubberDucks. Benjamin is also forced to choose between bobbleheads and fireworks.
Looking back at our 2011 Podcast when Cudo and Walker talk social media for game operations professionals, debate selling your entertainment teams to sponsors and review promotions in Memphis, Ann Arbor and Seattle.
