Bensinger, 34, started his broadcasting career as a podcaster in the 8th grade in St. Louis (in his parents’ home) and hasn’t looked back since. By the age of 17, his internet sports show was airing on Sporting News Radio before he moved on to stints at ESPN Radio and Sirius.
Bensinger answered a few questions about his career and how he made it to the top.
How did you get Hall of Famer Ernie Banks to appear on your podcast when you were, what, 13 years old?
I was in eighth grade when I launched an internet radio show, writing letters to athletes hoping they would agree to be on the show. I had gone to my local library and looked up [Ernie’s] home address, then mailed him a letter. Imagine my surprise when he actually called my parents’ house and my mom yelled that Ernie Banks was on the phone!
Was there any specific sportscaster who ignited your enthusiasm at such a young age?

Describe for me the excitement of landing at ESPN Radio when you were 19.
I started working at the local ESPN radio station in my hometown of St. Louis as a high school senior. I bought the time to be on the air (with the help of my parents) and then I would contact local companies to sponsor the show to help cover the costs. Later, after an interview with OJ Simpson, I began freelancing on ESPN television as a 19-year-old college freshman. It was surreal to see interviews that I’d been conducting since eighth grade now airing nationally.
While working at ESPN, I conducted an interview with NFL star Terrell Owens. A sound bite of T.O.’s comments made national headlines, and T.O. was suspended from the Philadelphia Eagles. I struggled with the lack of editorial control I had in interviews and how soundbites were used, and I wondered if there was a different way. That’s when I began exploring the idea of creating an independent television show where I would have more control of the process.
How did “In Depth” evolve into a syndicated show?
I began developing “In Depth with Graham Bensinger” at age 22, pounding the pavement and making calls to book guests and secure advertisers, while learning how to syndicate the television show myself. I traveled the country meeting with local station executives. While definitely tough, the reality is [that] so many executives took an unnecessary chance on me and gave me this opportunity for which I’m forever grateful.
Do you have a “dream guest”?
So many … A sitting president. Monopoly live board game. Michael Jordan. Serena Williams. Tom Cruise.
What’s been the biggest challenge with “In Depth”?
In addition to hosting, my company handles production, syndication and ad sales for the show. In its early years, I invested my life savings and took out loans, going into debt to grow the show. The show is now in its 11th year, so fortunately the risk paid off, but it was the most valuable experience I’ve ever had.
Is there one guest who disappointed you?
No, but there are often times I’m disappointed in myself for failing to do a better job getting the figure we’re profiling to open up to the extent I was hoping.
Why do you think athletes such as T.O. and [Cowboys quarterback] Dak Prescott open up to you so much?
We put probably 100 hours of research into each interview preceding the sitdown. In situations where we’re fortunate enough to get someone to open up, I’d like to think it’s because we have done our homework and are well-prepared.

Lamar Odom has made numerous mistakes in his life, and that includes the one night he blew a couple years of salary for most people in just one night.
Odom was a guest on “In Depth with Graham Bensinger” and talked about one of his worst financial decisions. Odom, who played 14 seasons in the NBA, recalled a night when he blew $120,000 at a club.

“I was in a club in Miami with my late great friend, Rasual Butler,” Odom told Bensinger. “It was Rasual’s birthday. When we go out, we like to drink, and we drank Moet Rose. And then we see this football player right in front of us. He and his guy are drinking Ace of Spades. He said to me, ‘L.O., step your game up.’ So I told the waiter that I need a hundred bottles of Moet Rose.
“I said I want them to bring ten now, and then give ten to these Puerto Rican kids. So now, I am going to assassinate the whole look that he got going on. I got the kids sitting right next to him, buying ten bottles of Moet Rose that I am about to drink with them. So that’s 20. I had this whole, little dark VIP section, and that was like 70 bottles. When I got to the 80th bottle, I told them to hand this out in the crowd and then bring the last 20 right back here.
“That is probably my worst. It probably cost like $120,000. I did it for pride — foolish pride.” Platinum reels mobile.
If it makes you feel any better, Lamar, everyone’s had one night like that. You get a little carried away, maybe try to show off a little, and then you really feel it the next day when you wake up, check your bank account, and realize what you did. That’s how people learn.
As embarrassing as this story is, Odom has so much company when it comes to athletes wasting money.
