🎙️ Sports Radio Royalty: Nadel, Sham, Cooperstein & Bogorad Tell All | Your Dark Companion

What happens when you put four legendary Dallas broadcasters in one room with Mike Rhyner? You get 2+ hours of storytelling gold, behind-the-scenes mishaps, scorching hot takes, and deep-dish sports nostalgia — served with a side of self-deprecating humor.

In this very special episode of Your Dark Companion, we bring you Eric Nadel (Texas Rangers), Brad Sham (Dallas Cowboys), Chuck Cooperstein (Dallas Mavericks), and Josh Bogorad (Dallas Stars) for a roundtable that’s basically a Texas Mount Rushmore of play-by-play.

They spill:
The truth about being the voice of a franchise
What the MLB pitch clock has to do with Eric Nadel’s broadcasting renaissance
The real deal behind Luka Doncic trades, locker room shutdowns, and road-trip nightmares
How to stay objective while secretly wanting your team to crush the opponent

Whether you grew up with these voices or just discovered what a blessing radio is when your streaming app crashes — this is a must-listen (and must-watch).
