"You Better You Bet"

Entercom Communications has enlisted a couple of hosts from sports/talk WSCR 670-AM as regular contributors to a new four-hour nightly podcast on sports betting and fantasy sports.

Danny Parkins and Joe Ostrowski will appear on “You Better You Bet,” from 5 to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, starting August 19. During NFL season, a special weekend edition will air from 8 a.m. to noon Sundays.

The new show was announced Wednesday as part of Sports Digital Network, a subscription-free digital sports podcast network being launched by Entercom's Radio.com platform.

Parkins will continue to co-host afternoons on The Score and his Sunday night syndicated show, and Ostrowski will continue to host evenings when Cubs or Bulls broadcasts aren’t on and “Early Odds” on Saturday mornings.

“Dreams come true,” Ostrowski tweeted of his new role on the podcast, which will be hosted by Nick Kostos, an analyst for the Sports Illustrated sports gambling platform and a writer for Bleacher Report.

Tweeted Parkins: "I plan to bring my experience of betting my whole $700 bankroll on KU over Cuse in 03 at the age of 16, not hedging $500 30:1 on the Royals in 14, and not hedging $200 Clemson 30:1 in 15 to the show. Wait, why did you guys hire me?"

Also appearing as a contributor to “You Better You Bet” will be Eli Hershkovich, a former producer at The Score who joined Radio.com earlier this year as a producer/sports gambling analyst.

David Field, chairman, president and CEO of Entercom, called the expansion "the perfect complement to our unrivaled platform in local sports which includes most of the nation’s leading sports talk stations and personalities along with the most desirable play-by-play relationships.”

News of Entercom’s Digital Sports Network closely followed word that the company has acquired two other podcast companies, Cadence 13 and Pineapple Street Media.
