Tom Reed talks about Bon Jovi, the Browns PR, Soccer and Jason Isbell - WFNY Podcast - 2013-06-18

I love chatting with Tom Reed from the Plain Dealer. I am continually pushing the boundaries of topics with him and lo and behold he ended up pushing the boundaries for me by giving me an assignment for our next podcast. He has vowed to get Cleveland talking about Trailer Park Boys. So check it out before I talk to him next time. Also be sure to check out his article on Browns lineman Joe DeLamelleure and his walk for charity.

The Browns and leaving the news cycle to the public’s imagination The public relations difficulty all the way back to Colt McCoy’s concussion and Mangini’s mural The Chuck Klosterman article nightmare Do you think the Browns are discouraged by their luck so far? Alec Scheiner’s willingness to get out in front of the PSL story The success of the USMNT soccer game in Cleveland this year Getting soccer into Cleveland after Randy Lerner sells the team Is it hard to be a soccer fan and being tasked with explaining it to people all the time?
