In this podcast, sports journalist Chandresh Narayanan talks Hemant Buch, a prominent name in the field of sports telecast.

Buch describes his work and says that being a producer and director are both two sides of the same coin. He also speaks about the difficulties faced by a director and producer while covering a global tournament, especially in a country like the UK. He said it’s very difficult to move in the UK—this tournament which got started in the south, then went to mid, and now in the north.

On being asked about his equation with commentators, Buch said, being a director, he keeps a healthy equation with all commentators but he does mention that “Shaun Pollock from South Africa is quite a fun commentator to work with”. According to him, it’s quite important to deal with commentators with the mix of both fun as well as seriousness.

Being a sports telecaster, he also follows his passion ie photography.

For this and a lot more, listen up!
