David Tasca of Syracuse University

David Tasca and I had been talking on LinkedIn for a year or two. What I found interesting right away is that he works in content creation from a totally different perspective than me. I'm about the smallest of the small, a one-man show with a couple of helpers. David has worked for big media companies, including ESPN, and now Syracuse University.

What we talked about

• Career advice. If you have kids in college, David's number one tip: take as many internships as possible.
• How live sports TV works. The roles of producer and director, and why an event is only as good as the weakest link.
• Behind the mic. How talk-back systems let people speak to the producer without going to air.
• College sports. International athletes and how different sports recruit.
• TV history. Stories from big network productions.

Thanks, David, for coming up from Syracuse.
