The Talk of Troy — live sports talk radio

The Talk of Troy is USC’s first (and only) live sports talk radio show, which I helped found. Completely student-led, we go live three times a week on YouTube and Twitch. We hold production meetings prior to every show, and utilize the full capabilities of USC Annenberg’s state-of-the-art production studio (in which I am trained and experienced in all aspects of). As one of ToT’s “founding fathers,” I’m one of a few graduate students who helped get the show off the ground and running. Since starting, we’ve grown the cast and crew, started active social media accounts for the show, and regularly uploaded clips from the livestreams to the YouTube (some of which I have embedded below). For the complete Talk of Troy library, click HERE. I alone clip and edit all of the videos and create the thumbnails.

One of my clips from The Talk of Troy, where we report on and discuss the recent decision by five-star tight end Duce Robinson to commit to USC.

I attended and covered the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine live in Indianapolis. This is a social-style video on my coverage — I produced and edited it for both the Annenberg Media and Talk of Troy YouTube channels.

Another Talk of Troy clip — in this one, we discussed a video that quarterback Cam Newton put out on the topic of QBs in the NFL he would like to back up. He gave words of support for Browns’ Deshaun Watson in the video, so we gave our thoughts on the optics of that.

Another clip from Talk of Troy where we discuss some of the USC Trojans who are on their way to the NFL. The NFL draft is my biggest passion, so any opportunity to talk prospects is something I pounce on.
