Kenny Albert grew up in New York in a broadcast family with dad Marv Albert and uncles Al and Steve Albert. He did mock broadcasts into his tape recorder at age 5 and was broadcasting games for real by the age of 15. After graduating from New York University, Albert began his career in 1990 and has been on the mic for more than 3000 broadcasts calling games in all four major US sports leagues (NFL, NHL, MLB and NBA). In this episode, Albert shares stories from his new book "A Mic for All Seasons" available October 10 via Triumph Books. He tells us why hockey has always been a favorite sport for him and led to him calling games in the NHL and the Winter Olympics. He recounts some of his 250+ broadcast partners including memories of the late Tony Siragusa. Albert also provides advice for aspiring broadcasters and tells us about some of his favorite moments and athletes he's been fortunate to cover. Plus, he tells us about the coolest perks of his job and how the support of his family has allowed him to excel as a broadcaster.
