    Description

    In this 2-part season finale to "Brief History of Triangle Sports", Joe Ovies revisits what it was to be part of an online community at the turn of the century and how message boards provided a runway for some websites to become legit coverage outlets for NC State and North Carolina. Part 2 focuses on the Tar Heels' online culture, featuring conversations with the founder of Tar Heel Blog and a current contributor to the SB Nation website who honed his UNC sports takes on the InsideCarolina message boards.

    The Triangle region of North Carolina is one of the most unique sports markets in the country thanks to a confluence of multiple universities with rabid fanbases: Duke, NC State and UNC, a lone pro sports franchise with the Carolina Hurricanes, and transplants who still care about their hometown teams. As more people move to the area or as young fans enter adulthood, they might lack the context as to why certain things still matter or the impact of certain events to their favorite teams. "A Brief History of Triangle Sports" will interview sports influencers who changed the game we know today in North Carolina. Tom Suiter, Tony Rigsbee, David Glenn, Bomani Jones, Chuck Kaiton, Mick Mixon, Mark Packer, Jeff Gravely, and the late Caulton Tudor (and more) will be featured. This podcast is produced by 99.9 The Fan FM in Raleigh, NC, hosted by Joe Ovies and part of the Capitol Broadcasting Podcast Network.
