The voice of amateur wrestling, Jason Bryant, joins the DiploSport Podcast to discuss his life covering the sport, reaching the pinnacle as the English-language announcer at the 2016 Rio Olympics (in addition to announcing the NCAAs and a series of the sport's highest-profile events).

In addition to Jason's rise as an announcer, he's also woven a wonderful entrepreneurial narrative, building a successful business built around his love of the sport.

We're hoping you enjoy this podcast while en route to the NCAA Division I championships this week in St. Louis!
