"Glickman"

The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 23, 2013

Director James L. Freedman and Senator Bill Bradley talk about the documentary “Glickman.” It tells the triumphant story of Marty Glickman, who, due to anti-Semitism, was denied the chance to participate for the U.S. in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, but went on to become one of the most revered and influential sportscasters in history. James L. Freedman wrote, produced, and directed the film. “Glickman” debuts at 9 pm on HBO on August 26.

As Leonard mentioned during his conversation with James L. Freedman and Senator Bill Bradley, he interviewed Marty Glickman back in 1992. Here's the audio:
