Description
The next installment of our limited-run podcast series recapping Netflix’s Full Swing reflects on the value of personality, and how the show’s third episode featuring Ian Poulter stood apart from the previous two for that reason. Whereas earlier episodes had bigger names in Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, hosts Shane Ryan, Sam Weinman, and Alex Myers argue that devoting an entire episode to the charismatic Poulter was a smart decision. We break down Poulter’s struggle to remain relevant, and why his decision to join LIV Golf was at least given the necessary context. We also discuss the show’s unique structure, one in which producers opted against a straight chronology in favor of jumping around to different points of the season.Check out Shane's recap of the episode here.
