  • Summary

  • Another change up this week, but most certainly not one to miss. This week I was joined by someone, who self proclaimed, has the best job in the world! Mark McAdam always had the dream of working in media and production, and working at Sky, well thats as good as it gets! I catch up with Mark after a hectic few weeks where he's been travelling around the country and living out of a suitcase. It is obviously a very big year in the football calendar with the World Cup approaching every faster and I hoped that Mark could give any England fan just that little bit of optimism despite the dire results that Gareths men have had over the last few months. Mark did exactly that and we can no all blame him if England don't perform in Qatar for getting our hopes up! This episode, although starting with the World Cup was about so much more. Mark was open and honest about everything he has done to date and for any young journalist, producer, reporter or anything revolving around sports production there is a 15 minute segment of this which you just have ton listen to. Mark explained his journey and his process to where he got to today, but as well as this, he took his time to say what he thought were they keys to earning success in this industry. I don't want to ruin the episode but all I'll say is if you're not doing it with a smile on your face, then why are you doing it! 2014 was a very big year for Mark in his career. This was the year that Mark first felt comfortable and open enough to be able to tell the public about his sexuality. Mark was the first openly gay sports reporter and has since paved the way for others in the sport to do the same. He is an inspiration for so many and genuinely one of the nicest people I have ever met. This is right up there with one of the best podcasts on The Tap and Go. I may be biased, but I assure you won't regret giving up an hour to listen to this one. Its long but it's worth it. A massive thank you to Mark again for giving up his evening and coming to chat to us. Keep an eye out for him this weekend as he'll be back on your screens! Learn more about your ad choices.
