Several updates/new segements are being added and changed around to "The Sports Buffet". The podcast will hopefullly be updated much more on a regular basis, as it had been previously. However, anybody with children, knows what a full time job that is. With two kids under the age of 1 1/2, I am working overtime. Your patience is appreciated.
Most of the segments that were on "Talking High School Sports" that were going to be renamed, aren't going to be renamed, they will stick with their original names. At the end of this explanation, you will find details of the segments.
Interviews with coaches, athletes that require no editing will be posted as soon as they are recorded, or soon thereafter. However, interviews that take editing are an ongoing work in progress. Stay tuned to "The Sports Buffet" podcast (http://bobalvis.blogspot.com/) for updates of interviews that will be coming from people who are not involved in the high school sports world. For those podcasts, that involve high school sports, follow my other blog "The Sports Buffet with Bob Alvis: Talking High School Sports" http://thss1000.blogspot.com/
"Checking In": This segment features updates on former high school athletes from the Lynchburg area and beyond as they continue their athletic careers in college. You will hear from the athlete, as well as current and past teammates and coaches.
"Where Are They Now": This is the segment where we catch up with former high school athletes, coaches, media members, officials, athletic directors, athletic trainers and more from the Lynchburg area and beyond to find out what they are doing now. You will hear from the individual as well as people that were associated with them during their time in high school sports in the Lynchburg area and beyond.
"Teammates" : This segment test two teammates from an athletic squad to see how well they know each other. With larger teams, it may become a contest to where it would feature 3 teams of 2, similar to ESPN's "Teammates", where they are competing against one another. But, with smaller teams it will feature two participants from a team to see how well they know each other with questions that pertain to questions away from the sport, i.e. favorite movie, favorite food and so forth.
"Know Your Coach": Segment that will see how well a player knows their coach. This is very similar to "Teammates" but will instead feature 3 athletes from a team to see how well they know their coach.
"One on One with Bob Alvis": This segement takes a personality from the sporting world and gives them 12 questions that they would not hear in their normal, everday life, such as "If you were stuck on a desert island, what 3 movies would you want with you?"
"Inside the Game": This segment is designed to take a fast pace look at a sport or conference and it's most recent happenings. The segment can also be designed to take a look at a specific night. For example, a Friday night in High School Football could be covered on one edition of "Inside the Game"
"Bumps and Bruises": This segment is designed to allow athletic trainers to talk about a prevention, rehabilitation method, or anything they feel needs to be brought to the public's attention relating to the area of athletic training.
"Off the Field" : Segment is designed to highlight an athlete's good deeds away from the field. For example, an athlete that may help out at a nursing home, or tutors other students, or is just a good student and is actively involved in their school, church or another organization.
"Coach's Corner" : This is where a coach talks about a technique, strategy, or something that will allow the public insight on the game that they coach.
"Rules of the Game": This is where a sports official talks about a rule of the sport they officiate. Nothing much more to say about that.
"The Roundtable" : This is where 3 coaches, media members, athletes or officials sit down and talk not so much strategy but more of coaching phillosphies and general sitatuions about sports.You can go to the pod-cast of "The Sports Buffet" (http://thesportsbuffet.mypodcast.com/) and hear examples of the segments from the days of "Talking High School Sports" as well as the new segments that will be added to "The Sports Buffet"."
Also, other segments will be added with team previews, year end/season reviews, as well as profiles on coaches, players, media members, athletic trainers, officials, athletic director, sports information directors, and so on and so forth.
