Rich and Ken with Ted Johnson

Audacy

Rich and Ken with Ted Johnson offers a unique look at the Boston sports world. Hosted by veteran broadcaster Rich Shertenlieb, WEEI veteran on-air host Ken Laird, and three-time Super Bowl champion Ted Johnson, the show covers what is at the top of your daily feed, but also their twist on press conferences, movies, shows, albums, people being stupid and more! From breaking down Patriots defensive schemes with Johnson’s championship insight to reacting to the latest Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins storylines, the trio blends deep sports credibility with unapologetic entertainment and authentic chemistry. Fast-paced and deeply connected to the city's culture, the show proves that while Boston fans are fiercely passionate, it doesn't have to be serious. It's just sports.
