“My Best Call” will take audiences into the world of sports play-by-play announcers, particularly those at the local level who captivate lesser-known sporting communities. Each episode will start with a 90-second reel of the announcer’s greatest calls over the course of their career, to establish their voice and their historical relationship to sports broadcasting. The general direction of the podcast would allow the announcer to set the scene for what they were seeing in that game and how it influenced the call they would eventually make.

For the first episode, I will be inviting the voice of my childhood in Alaska, Bruce Cech. Bruce has been the voice of Alaska Nanooks Hockey for 35 seasons. Growing up there, my mother and father worked as goal judges and penalty box attendants respectively. They did this well before I was born and were quick to get back into it, once my sister and I came along. My first Alaska Hockey game was when I was only a few weeks old, Mom at one end and Dad at the other. I sat between them with my babysitter. While we didn’t listen to Bruce on the radio during home games, his voice filled our cars and houses, whenever the team took to the road. I can see that Fairbanks and the fans of Nanooks Hockey are still a large part of who he is. I want to use this first podcast to explore how being a sports

broadcaster makes you forever a part of a local sporting community. If you do it right. Bruce has done it right and then some.
