Loud City Debuts on Technically Speaking at CLNS Radio

Updated with hard link to the episode

We've had the privilege of seeing our GM Zorgon appear on various media outlets to talk about the Thunder. Well, now it's my turn. I was invited as a guest on CLNS Radio's show, Technically Speaking, to talk a little bit about the CBA situation and the Thunder team.

Technically Speaking: Episode 10 | CLNS Radio

The show is hosted by Mike Munger and former NBA referee Tim Donaghy, so they bring an interesting combination of insight and experience to the format. If you thought I was long-winded and lacking in direction in written form (where I actually am able to self-edit), wait 'till you get a load of me in unscripted format.

I have no idea why I sound like I'm talking into a pillow.

I believe the traditional phrase is, "A face made for radio." We can now add an addendum to that - "A voice made for silent film."

Thanks for coming on J.A.

If they ever get their heads out of their asses and we can have a season we will definitely have you back on again.

tuned in...

You spoke well. The sound faded on you a couple times but it wasn’t a big deal. More and longer interviews should be coming if you enjoy it.

thx mate

I think it’s just one of those things where the only solution is more practice to get comfortable in the setting. It’s always jarring though when you hear your own voice in the 3rd person. Hopefully we’ll be able to continue to promote the site and the Thunder in the future in similar fashion.

followup thoughts

On that last question, the host might have wanted to hear more directly on their question about the impact of the cap on the Celtics and big market teams. You moved into the revenue side pretty quickly for both big and small markets. Perhaps a couple of sentences agreeing with the risk of getting squeezed on the ability to get role players to fill out the roster and mention of the possibility of a transition period with the cap helping teams like the Celtics would have been helpful. Then move on. Give them what they asked then add what you want to say.

I’m a pretty or very straight ahead factual guy myself but for a lot of today’s audiences I think it might also help to add a light or humorous observation or even phrasing or a few to future radio spots. You sometimes add them to your writing and I think that is good.

Good advice

The tricky thing is trying to hear exactly what they’re asking for, and then formulate a response in about 1.5 seconds. :-) I was pretty much just winging it, hoping that I didn’t sound totally lost. I had some points prepared, but once you’re in the mix, preparations tend to go by the wayside. I couldn’t believe how fast those 15 minutes went.

yeah,

i can see why people repeat or rephrase a question and / or call it a good, interesting, complicated question. Buys them 5-10 seconds to maybe make some decisions about what to really say, if you can run your brain as a dual processor.
