The Jason Salas Experience

I had the sincere pleasure of meeting and talking with runner Frank Shorter on my station's newscast last night. Frank won gold at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, took silver in Montreal in '76, and is the last American male to win gold in the marathon. Thankfully, we had a long segment prior to our live interview, so we chatted for a bit about athletics and his life experience. Really nice, well-spoken, funny guy.

A lawyer in his spare time, Frank's also done a lot of work with modern doping investigation and policy development surrounding steroids, testifying before Congress, so we talked about this (again, while off the air). By the time we went live to promote the race he's on island to celebrity host, we got all the really cool stuff out of the way.

He's also going to be on my sportstalk show for this coming Monday...make sure to check it out! (I'll post MP4 video for those of you not on Guam and unable to get our broadcast signal.)
