For this week’s edition of “Conversations with Clayton,” I interviewed A.J. Kanell, the play-by-play announcer for Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) basketball power Siena. Kanell broadcasts the Siena Saints games on Albany, New York’s WGDJ Talk 1300 AM. A 2013 graduate of Syracuse’s prestigious Newhouse School of Public Communications, Kanell served previously as the play-by-play man for the University of Vermont Catamounts men’s basketball team while co-hosting an afternoon sports talk show on Burlington, Vermont’s ESPN Radio affiliate, 101.3 FM. AJ and I discuss the state of mid-major college basketball, breaking into the sports media business and Mario Kart.
