Join the Lessans Family Literary Series as we welcome Robert Steinfeld to discuss his new book, 3…2…1… We’re On the Air. Enjoy bagels and nosh, followed by an engaging conversation about Steinfeld’s journey from ambitious teen journalist to Emmy Award–winning network sports producer. Moderated by Andy Pollin, DC-area sportscaster and Bender JCC Jewish Sports Hall of Fame inductee, this talk offers a behind-the-scenes look at major sporting events, sports broadcasting, and the remarkable people he met along the way. Bagels and nosh included.
“Every good television sports presentation requires the talent and hard work of those who are never seen or heard on the air, and whose names don’t always appear near the top of the credits. This is especially true at an Olympics where thousands such people are perhaps unheralded but certainly indispensable. Bob Steinfeld has been part of significant productions local, national and international. Here are his stories of decades in Sports TV.”
