The longest running sports radio show in Arizona...it's the Fantasy Forum with Barry Markson and Chris Lewis, the deans of Valley sports radio. Barry and Chris began broadcasting the Fantasy Forum in 1994, just months after the station started, and they haven't stopped since.
The Fantasy Forum presents great information for fantasy football players, but in a fun and sarcastic style that attracts all sports fans to the show. When football is not in season, Barry and Chris talk about all sports, and bring their sometimes insightful, sometimes witty take on things to the airwaves.
Barry moved to Phoenix in 1979 and has never left. After graduating from Chaparral High School, Barry went on to ASU where he received both undergraduate and law degrees.
Barry is a partner in the Phoenix law firm Thomas, Thomas and Appel, where his practice focuses on civil and commercial litigation. In addition to his legal and radio work, Barry also serves on the board of directors for both charitable and legal organizations.
Barry is married and has two young sons. He enjoys spending time with his family, as well as playing and watching sports.
