A’s voice Ken Korach joins the Hot Stove Baseball Podcast (Audio)

Since 1996 Oakland A’s fans have heard the play-by-play voice of Ken Korach fill the radio airwaves in the Bay Area. Korach is known for his professionalism on-air and overall broadcast organization. He is great at giving his audience an excellent description and maintaining the excitement of the game.  In January the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association named him the California Sportscaster of the year 2014.

This season marks Korach’s 19th on the A’s broadcast team only second to his former partner Bill King. King was the inspiration for this new book “Holy Toledo – Lessons from Bill King: Renaissance Man of the Mic” and the topic of today’s Hot Stove Baseball Podcast.
