It has been a while since we’ve offered any book recommendations, as life has gotten the better of our free time lately.
But we did have a chance to finish Rich Podolosky’s Madden & Summerall: How They Revolutionized NFL Broadcasting not too long ago, so it is time to give it a shoutout.

Similar to his previous work, You Are Looking Live! about the rise of The NFL Today program, Podolosky takes his readers on a thorough and linear line through the history of the broadcast team of Summerall and Madden, from their beginnings at CBS, through their time at Fox, and eventually the passing of both legendary broadcasters.
Those old enough to remember knew that when Summerall and Madden were on a broadcast, it was a big deal, and this will bring back those memories. Anyone who has never heard them call a game will still enjoy the stories of how an unlikely duo became the game’s best broadcasters.
Check it out when you have a chance. And, as always, drop any book recommendations in the comments!
