2. The youngest of two brothers, Taylor Misun
grew up in a small town outside of Ashland,
Wisconsin called Moquah. Growing up with
two brothers is where his love of sports was
born. He’s been a huge fan of Hockey, Baseball
and Football most of his life. He even had a
dream of playing professional sports when he
was old enough. Even though playing sports
past high school wasn’t an option. Taylor still
knew a career in sports was what he needed.
So Taylor enrolled in the Dan Patrick School of
Sportscasting at Full Sail University where he’s
focused on developing his sportscasting skills.

14. Taylor Misun
They Say that sports radio broadcasting is dying because of being
able to watch on TV. But I believe that they are wrong. More and
more people are tuning into podcasts to listen info for their
favorite sports teams on their time. I believe that I can promote
and host the next great sports radio podcast. Podcasts are the
future of radio broadcasting and I intend on becoming one of the
best.
