HoS: Larry Krueger

Larry Krueger, proprietor of The Krueg Show, and former Bay Area radio mainstay, might know a thing or two about succeeding locally. A couple years ago he was pushed out of his role at KNBR, at which point he started building his 49ers-centric Youtube channel. It’s been a big success, currently at over 40,000 subscribers and rapidly gaining. As a fan of his channel, I wanted insight into the comeback story behind it and Larry’s overall perspective on media.

Pod discussion includes, but is not limited to:

* How advice from comedian Al Madrigal helped Larry build The Krueg Show

* Larry is so granular with his analysis and yet it works on a big scale

* The massive gap between America’s passion for football and actual knowledge

* Why people feel comfortable second guessing football coaches vs. other sports

* Larry’s disagreement with Grant Cohn

* Larry’s since resolved fight with “The Coach”

* We both object to a Dan Patrick take on Kyle Shanahan in the Super Bowl

* How the Warriors handle the media

* Larry gives us his take for dream 49ers 1st round pick and realistic 1st round pick
