In a 30-minute interview, Kenny tells us about his start as a substitute Islanders announcer and making $18,000 a year with the AHL’s Baltimore Skipjacks, how he prepares for each broadcast, and how he embraces the challenges of calling national games “down the middle” even though he knows fans miss their local announcers. At the end of the show, Chris and Pat respond to a fan’s question about the “blandness” of NHL players.
