Husky Talk- Mike Sasson

A Husky Talk over a year in the making, I finally got to interview Former UConn star offensive tackle and a big brother to me when I was a freshman, Mike Sasson. We went long but it was worth every second, when you get to spend time with a comedian, you take advantage of it!

A description will not due this episode any justice. Mike was beyond hilarious and is a fantastic storyteller. You hear how he ended up at UConn, his time playing all over, center, guard, and tackle. He was a 36-game starter and one of the best offensive tackles in the ECAC on the 1998 UConn team which is still the best in school history,

Life after UConn, going to broadcasting school, having his own sports show, working for WFAN on radio, and a seasoned podcaster. Mike found his true talent in comedy and has worked as a comedian for 12 years. Living in LA now, he looks phenomenal, and you can see why he is amazing at making people laugh.

Mike was a mentor to me when I was a freshman, he was patient, understanding and took time to teach me different techniques. I struggled and was considering leaving, Sasson, Burton, Jamie Harper, Corey Derfuss, Mark Campoli, Steve Darby were the best group of guys. Sasson and Burton really helped, watched over me, I will forever be grateful.
