Welcome to episode 2 of Tables Turned, and I\'m delighted to welcome sports broadcaster, event host and podcaster extraordinaire David Garrido. 

\\n

His interviewing career almost ended before it began with what should have been an opportunity of a lifetime with a Spurs legend. Thankfully for David, and for us, he persevered with his dreams, took the lessons from it and landed an amazing role through BBC Talent at BBC Sport in 2001, staying at the broadcaster before moving onto SkySports in 2011.  

\\n

In this show we started off talking about his recent hosting duties at the World Football Summit and why it was one of his favourite ever experiences. We also get into how he prepares for big interviews to make sure it looks as effortless as possible. His approach to hosting is so open and engaging that he quickly makes people feel comfortable and is one who tries to make it less of an interview and more of a conversation.

\\n

David has some fantastic stories around some of the biggest names in sport from David Beckham to a then-newly crowned F1 World Champion, Jenson Button. His love though is for Spanish football which is his main expertise when it comes to football. This led to him creating the weekly La Liga Lowdown podcast to get the lastest from the league.

\\n

I also mention his famous dance moves when celebrating in the Sheffield Wednesday dressing room after their play-off win back in 2016, you can watch his excellent footwork on https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/17/sky-sports-david-garrido-shows-off-dance-moves-after-sheff-wed-w/

\\n

There\'s so much to take from this chat if you\'re interested in interviewing, or just to listen to some of his great stories and how his career has unfolded over the last 20 years.
