A snippet from my "The Tech of Sports" podcast featuring comedian and humor columnist Greg Schwem. Greg and I are talking about technology in sports when we start talking about golf and the people that call in rules infractions while watching golf on television.
You can listen to the entire interview and podcast here:
Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 1:23PM Musician Thomas Dolby of "She Blinded Me With Science" fame is back out on tour this Spring and he will be coming to Atlanta on March 20, with a concert at The Loft.
I had the opportunity to talk to him over the weekend about what he's been up and various other topics.
Thought I would post clips of parts of the interview.
Here I ask him about how his music is different now than 30 years ago,
In another question, I ask him about his top-5 hit "She Blinded Me With Science" and how it lives on today in television shows like "The Big Bang Theory".
Enjoy... and let me know if you want to hear addional clips.

A youth cheerleader, her coach, two other teens and the cheerleader's mother were all arrested after a brawl at the end of a youth football game in south St. Petersburg, police said.
Yolanda Jones was the only adult arrested after the fight at JC Turner Field in South St. Petersburg. Jones told police she was trying to protect her cheerleader daughter who had come under attack. The coach, who is also Jones' daughter, said she joined the fight too. "We started fighting, because that other girl didn't like my mouth," said Darricka Maddox.
It took ten police officers to end the brawl and restore order.
It's the second brawl in recent weeks at a youth football game in Tampa Bay. Four people were arrested following a brawl in Sarasota last week.
Just watch and enjoy.

Male reporters were allowed to speak with players but security stopped Sullivan at the entrance.
"Bad enough no women members at Augusta. But not allowing me to join writers in locker room interview is just wrong," Sullivan posted on her Twitter feed. Following that tweet, the Twitter universe lit up with opinions and disbelief.
It's more bad press for a tournament that has come under fire for not having women and enough monoritiy members.
The Record reported that officials later told Sullivan that, "It was a complete misunderstanding by the tournament week security and you should have rightfully been given access per the standard practices of major sporting events."
Augusta National spokesman Steve Ethun said the guard acted improperly in stopping Sullivan, since club policy is to provide equal access to all reporters. The club has no female members, but several female reporters at the tournament confirmed they had made numerous trips to the locker room for interviews in the past without incident.
Sullivan was among a crowd of reporters following third-round leader Rory McIlroy from the course into the clubhouse after his collapse in the final round.
"He just said women were not allowed and there was no official in sight," Sullivan said. By the time she located McIlroy's manager, the interview had been completed.
Ethun said the club hires a number of people to work the tournament and the guard was apparently unaware of the equal-access policy.
"It should not have happened," he said. "We will work as hard as we can to make sure it does not happen again."
