Rahimi & Grote Show · Bulls announcer Chuck Swirsky reflects on his 50 years in broadcasting! · 1 Sep 2026 podcast

She is unbelievable. voice-verified

And uh she and her husband Matt just celebrated their first anniversary and Alyssa actually was was married at Holy Name Cathedral, where I volunteer like around the clock because I just enjoy the parish and my faith. voice-verified

But uh Bill Wennington is like a big kid. voice-verified

And I think Beth and Josh would probably agree with that, is that Bill uh is seven feet tall voice-verified

300 pounds, and he's almost like the kid that was seven years old, like you know, in a sitcom where he comes in and he's always enthusiastic, always with a joke, and he shares a dad joke on every postgame show with Alyssa. voice-verified

And um, but I'll say this people always ask me, what's the biggest difference you've seen in the industry in the 50 years? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Well, number one, technology has changed everything. voice-verified

When I graduated, I graduated in three years from OhioU, and I had an internship at NBC in Cleveland. voice-verified

And so after I got out, the only way you could get a job in the industry back then was that you would send a cassette tape if you were going radio, you would send a cassette tape with a bubble envelope, and you'd put you voice-verified

stuff the resume and you'd send it away. voice-verified

You wouldn't know if you heard from them, because in most cases you did not. voice-verified

Sometimes you'd get a letter back. voice-verified

I could not find a job coming out of school. voice-verified

I sent my cassettes everywhere and there wasn't means of going online and finding jobs through a website. voice-verified

No. voice-verified

I mean the only vehicle we had voice-verified

To learn about jobs in our industry was a magazine called Broadcast Magazine. voice-verified

It would arrive on Fridays, and there was a library near where we lived in Seattle. voice-verified

And so I raced to the library, get the magazine, look in the section for job availability, and go from there. voice-verified
