Washington Post Sports Columnist John Feinstein Hosts New Show on Mad Dog Radio
Starting today, March 8, Feinstein will join Bruce Murray to host a new show, Beyond the Brink every weekday from 10am to 2pm ET.
Feinstein will debut his new show at the ACC Basketball Tournament, broadcasting live from Atlanta’s Philips Arena today and tomorrow. Throughout the rest of the year, Feinstein and Murray will cover a wide gamut of sports, interview guests, debate topics and talk with callers nationwide about the top stories of the day.
John Feinstein is probably most widely known for his guest contributions on The Tony Kornheiser show, The Jim Rome Show, and his rarely updated, mildly popular, personal blog “Feinstein on the Brink.”
“I’ve always enjoyed doing radio because it gives you a chance to talk in detail on a lot of different topics and the chance to do it on SiriusXM on a daily basis with an old friend like Bruce is something I’m really looking forward to taking on,” said Feinstein.
“John has one of the most prominent and respected voices in sports and we’re thrilled to have him join us on Mad Dog Radio,” said the channel’s originator, Christopher ‘Mad Dog’ Russo. “He and Bruce make an excellent pair as both are passionate and outspoken.”
What do you sports lovers think, will he be a good addition to the team or a waste of air time? Report back and let us know what you think of the show.
I’ve always enjoyed him when he has been a guest on Dan Patrick, but that might be as much about DP as Feinstein.
I don’t think it is a big value addition.
Now getting Dan Patrick, that would make me a customer for life.
Speaking of adding value, does anybody else out there notice how lame the music programming is on Sirius/XM? Short playlists, endless repeating of songs, no diversity to speak of, entire genres of music not represented at all, etc. I can get much better on cable tv with Music Direct, or online with iTunes radio. Some of the local terrestrial radio stations put Sirius to shame. I can’t accept such mediocrity, and neither should anyone else. If you are a music lover, Sirius/XM is not the best alternative out there…. not by a long shot. Not surprising from a company with zero creativity, zero imagination, zero concern for their subscribers,and zero love and understanding of music in general, and how to program it to discerning, intelligent people. PATHETIC!
Feinstein’s only claim to “fame” is golf, why would XM allow him to be put up against Katrek and Peter Kessler?
I love what John has to say. Always to the point and backs it with knowledge and humor.
