670 The Score afternoon host Danny Parkins will be filling in nationally for Colin Cowherd on Monday and Tuesday. Parkins took to X and posted, “Cool professional update. The next time I host a show will be Monday July 8th and 9th from LA filling in for the great Colin Cowherd on The Herd. This is a big one! Have a happy 4th and I’ll talk to ya on FS1 on Monday.”
Parkins, who hosts Parkins & Spiegel weekdays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. CT along with Matt Spiegel, was a guest of Cowherd’s on his podcast in early April.
In the introduction of the podcast, Cowherd said about Parkins, “A really talented guy. I really hope you will listen to the next hour with Danny Parkins, Chicago radio host. And the most talented sports talk radio host I think out there right now at his age…”
To start the interview, Cowherd told the story about how he found out about Parkins. “I first heard of Danny Parkins from Nick Wright,” he said. “…Nick had introduced me to two or three people. A couple of them were just obnoxious and annoying and then he introduced me to Danny and told me to listen to his show. And so, I fashion myself as some sort of talent scout, obviously not, but since I started The Volume, I really enjoy it…I go to Chicago regularly and listened and I thought, ‘wow this guy is about the best young guy I’ve heard in the country.’”
Parkins has been making guest appearances across the country as he promotes a book he co-wrote, Pipeline to the Pros, with Ben Kaplan.
