Costas on the Radio is a weekly syndicated radio program hosted by sportscaster Bob Costas. Each two-hour show features Costas administering one or two longform interviews (usually lasting for an entire hour) of various athletes, sports book authors, journalists, and other entertainers and newsmakers not necessarily involved in the sports industry. Guests usually appear in studio, but interviews are occasionally administered over the telephone. Costas describes the show in a promo as having "something for everyone." Each show is recorded on Thursday afternoon, and Premiere Radio feeds the program to its affiliates via satellite four times each weekend. Affiliate stations have the option to tape the feed and air it anytime on Saturday or Sunday. Talk can refer to: Look up talk in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
