Joe Maddon Interview

[ssptv]

Hi everyone,

My name is Sam Lesante Jr. - we are a local production/tv station in Joe Maddon's hometown of Hazleton, PA.

Just wanted to let you know we did an interview with him today and you can view it at www.ssptv.com/live and click on the Sam Lesante show banner on the top left.

Thanks

I can hear it, but can't see it. All I get is a black screen after clicking on the banner of Joe. Is my PC missing something or am I doing something wrong?

I'll ask my IT guy about your problem on monday but for now make sure you have an updated version of windows media and in your tools menu try putting the buffering to 15 seconds.

In the near future we are going to switch all our programs to flash files so you should not have any problems with that at all (I'm told)

Anyway, on another board people were saying that the show was not what they expected.

So i guess i should have premised my first post by saying that the show runs for 30 minutes. But it's broken up like this; 8 minutes of talk then 2 min of local commercials, 8 more minutes then 2:30 of commercials then the last 9 or so of talk. But you can easily scroll past the commercials if you are watching the archived show and not the live stream.

Also, the show does not talk about the d-rays players much at all.

It's more of a chat with maddon on his perception of baseball today, some reminiscing of him when he was younger, coming up through the ranks etc..., the attitudes of players today...

So again, it's not a show that talks about any of the players in particular, but as one put it, "Anything Rays is better than no Rays at all."

thanks again.

Sam
