On Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2023, Zach Martin of NEWHD Radio hosted an extensive interview with Mike Richman about his new book, George Allen: A Football Life. Mike was the first guest on Zach’s new series called “Iconic,” which airs on Audacy and all of the top podcasting platforms.
The interview took place in the studios of WFAN, the famous all-sports radio station in New York City. Zach, a radio industry icon, is the creative director at WFAN, which airs the No. 1-rated sports talk show in New York co-hosted by NFL great Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti (“Boomer and Gio”). Mike and Boomer are both Maryland Terps who attended the school at exactly the same time in the early-80s. During the interview, Mike commented on how Boomer quarterbacked the Terps during a transition from a run-based offense to a pass-first offense under new coach Bobby Ross that made Maryland one of the most exciting teams to watch in the country.
