Topics discussed in this podcast include, but are not limited to…* Beat writers…is that still a thing? * Is “no cheering in the press box” dead?* The Jenna Laine vs. Giovani Bernard controversy. Should Laine have apologized? * What are the unspoken rules in reporter vs. athlete locker room interactions? * How is covering NFL players different from covering NBA players?* How to ask questions of sports industry people* Why in person media access is humbling* What Marcus would ask players when they said “we’re friends.”* The darkness of humanity that superstar players see
