On his weekly Saturday Conversations podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey welcomes KDKA-TV’s Rich Walsh to tackle some hot Pittsburgh sports topics and learn more about Rich’s career in television.
On the football front, Rich explains why he doesn’t want the Steelers to reach for a QB like Jaxson Dart in the NFL draft and gives his thoughts on keeping George Pickens next to DK Metcalf vs. trading him for an opportunity to get back into the second round. Then our duo tackles the Pirates’ slow start and Penguins GM Kyle Dubas’ chances of turning the team around before Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin retire.
Later, Jason learns about Rich’s journey from growing up in Penn Hills to becoming a key piece of KDKA’s sports coverage team; what a day in the life of a TV sports anchor looks like and how that’s changed over the years; and the nuance of the medium that Rich has learned through time.

Rich, can you still win a race?
Great show Jason!
Same Here. Don’t reach for QB. Get best player available with 1st rd pick. Steelers have too many bad 1st rd picks.
good goaltender would definitely not have solved the Penguins' issues. their team D is absolutely 100000% TRASH
