Though his job title indicates that the bulk of his work is
confined to the wrestling mats, F&M assistant wrestling coach Matt
Greenberg has gone above and beyond his obligations, and is truly embodying the
liberal arts experience.
Earlier this month, Greenberg kicked off his first radio
talk show on WFNM 89.1, titled “Matt's Bad Sports Show”. As a dilettante of pop culture and the world of athletics, Greenberg is
eager to share his ruminations and observations on pop culture and sports with the local community, and
plans on welcoming new guests to the show each week.
“It’s a fun show; I love being able to give my commentary on
things that are going on in society,” Greenberg said. “I think a lot of people
on campus want to have their voice heard, but might not have an outlet for it,
and that’s what I’m hoping to give them—at least for an hour a week.”
Some of those guests include unheralded student-athletes
like F&M wrestlers Andrew Murano ’14 and Colin Gironda ’16.
“They have a lot of talents,” said Greenberg. “They’re not just wrestlers, they’re not
just students; they’re unique people and they should be able to express what’s
unique about them and what makes them different from all the people out there.”
While Greenberg never had the luxuries of a smaller liberal
arts education, he has taken full advantage of the amenities available on
campus, and is serving both Franklin & Marshall and the local community as far
more than just the assistant wrestling coach.
Tune in for Greenberg’s show every Wednesday from 7-8 p.m. via
local radio on 89.1, or online at WFNM.org.
