A Pittsburgh Sportscasting Legacy Guy Junker

Hold My Cutter

Ever found yourself reminiscing about the local legends that shaped your own journey? Join us for a heartwarming and insightful conversation with Pittsburgh's own Guy Junker, a broadcasting giant who's shared the airwaves with the city's most iconic figures. We're cracking open the treasure chest of memories, digging into the times Guy set pins in a bowling alley and sold hotdogs during the legendary Immaculate Reception. It's a story that's as much about the man behind the microphone as it is about the sports he's brought to life for countless fans.
As we swap tales of friendship and mentorship within the broadcasting realm, you'll feel like you're at the heart of a Pittsburgh sportscaster reunion. Guy's anecdotes of late-night shows and jazz club escapades with industry greats like Stan and Bill Hillgrove will make you laugh and ponder the unique bonds that this field creates. These narratives aren't just a walk down memory lane—they're a testament to the enduring relationships and shared wisdom that keep the sports broadcasting spirit alive.
Buckle up for a ride through the dynamic world of sports media, where we not only tackle the evolution of athlete-media relations but also share the personal triumphs and tribulations that come with the territory. Guy opens up about interviewing Michael Jordan and mastering player pronunciations, while I share my own pregame rituals and the rush of calling the game from the stadium. This episode isn't just about looking back; it's about the excitement of what's to come and the winning mindset that drives us all, both in the press box and in life.
