Scott Van Pelt Show

www.kidsandsportsradio.com — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Our Rating: 13 and overWith segments like “Carl’s Stone Cold Lock of the Century Of the Week,” featuring fictional character Carl Brutananadilewski of Cartoon Network’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the Scott Van Pelt Show obviously at least tries to maintain some appeal to the younger generation. Of course, Aqua Teen Hunger Force may be an animated show, but it is by no means a targeted at young children, rather featured on the Adult Swim programming lineup, often enjoyed by older teens. Fellow character Meatwad has also joined the game forecasting fun for both NFL and NCAA games, while ATHF’s Master Shake and Frylock can all maintain a presence in the booth (and can be seen on TV simulcasts on ESPN2).As far as sports related opinion goes, Scott Van Pelt is a fairly safe bet and a tame personality. A wry sense of humor might go over some younger listeners head, but as far as inappropriateness is concerned, there have been little to no issues. A former broadcaster for the Golf Channel, where Van Pelt hosted a number of their more prominent programs after getting his start at a D.C. network affiliate, Van Pelt generally maintains a high level of professionalism one might expect to find in a clubhouse. No ranting, raving and shouting, rather smart jokes alongside accurate and timely information adults will appreciate.Van Pelt’s cohost, Ryen Russillo, can also be heard on ESPN Radio College Gameday and The NBA Today podcast, where he brings a levelheaded nature and well thought out approach both on issues, a true complement to Van Pelt. While Van Pelt and Russillo may not have the fire and brimstone of some other competing broadcasters, the fairly reserved duo put on a solid show day in and day out. The Scott Van Pelt Show airs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., with the third hour broadcast on ESPN2.

Edge of Sports Radio

www.kidsandsportsradio.com — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Our Rating: Ages 16 and overWith all due respect, host Dave Zirin is a fine sportswriter and radio host, not to mention a very intelligent individual. However, with youth in mind, Zirin perhaps can be too political at times. Not to say his stances aren’t justified on important political issues, Zirin isn’t an extremist by any means, but his measures for righting what he perceives to be wrong can indeed be extreme. And in many cases, these calls to action have little to no sports relation. If you’re looking for purely a sports radio show, this is not your best bet. Then again, it could be argued that with the merging culture of sports and entertainment, few, if any shows, are purely sports at this point. Furthermore, as kids enter high school, it could help their development to be exposed to global politics and social injustices, so that they can form educated opinions and to foster their own self-identity and belief system. Whether you view Zirin’s line of thinking and political stances as justified and something your kids might benefit from is ultimately a matter of personal parental choice.Zirin is obviously a passionate individual who thinks his arguments through, not some lunatic shouting nonsense for ratings. But as with any politically charged individual, his opinions are not for everyone, thus his show is likely polarizing to some degree. We recommend pre-screening his radio show and checking out the website before introducing it to your teen. Edge of Sports Radio is available to listeners of Sirius XM Radio (Sirius channel 125, XM channel 241), airing Friday’s at noon, or available online at any time.
