'HouseCast 9: Darren Rovell Talks Infomercials, NFL Draft and Burgers

The FanHouse Podcast: Because bloggers are much sexier on the phone.

CNBCWe promised a big week of podcasts Monday and we weren't lying. None other than Darren Rovell of CNBC Sports Biz fame joined Ryan and myself on the podcast machine to talk about his upcoming CNBC documentary: "As Seen on TV," which debuts Wednesday at 9 PM ET on CNBC. (View the preview right here. Right now. Actually, wait, listen to the podcast first. Then watch.) Rovell's documentary chronicles the amazing rise of infomercials and such products as the Snuggie, the Shamwow and the Chia Pet (although the last one might be on the decline, as you can see here). We also chat about the 5/3 burger and the business of the NFL Draft. Enjoy. It's quite good.

WHAT IS
BACK PORCH?

The easy answer:
Back Porch exists because FanHouse doesn't have a basement for its bloggers. The bigger picture? BP covers sports news that's funny, off-beat and controversial. In short, it's the other side of sports, covered with an edge. Enjoy.
