A podcast delving into topics I find intriguing in the sports world with a side of other topics that interest me. You'll mostly hear from me, but there will be guests on as I learn new things from them.
After another major NFL Trade happened, I needed to get a pod done with my great friend Chris Rosvoglou. We discussed major questions heading into training camp such as why the Saints felt comfortable rolling with Jameis Winston over drafting a QB back in the draft (1:16), what the Panthers are thinking when they traded for Baker Mayfield (8:04), who could pounce the Packers in the NFC North (12:30), whether the 49ers and Cardinals got cute with their QB situations (19:43) and we forecast how the Lamar Jackson contract extension storyline could turn out (29:30). Chris is the host of the Straight Up Saints Podcast from Boot Krewe Media and you can check out his work for The Spun as well.

2016 in Pro Wrestling was one of the craziest years of wrestling ever. It was the year where I officially became hooked on not just WWE, I ended up growing to love promotions outside the WWE bubble such as New Japan, Impact! and Ring of Honor. I want to look back, reflect and see how certain matches and events that year hold up five years later and how they changed the industry.
For the pilot episode, Andy and I watched the 2016 Royal Rumble which was momentus in the moment, but also a worthwhile rewatch that not only gave us numerous looks into the evolution of certain stars of today, but also it gave us an idea of the kind of year 2016 was in wrestling.

Media literacy is the ability to identify different types of media and understand the messages they're sending.
On today's podcast, I am joined by Hofstra Media and Communications Professor Brian McFadden to discuss the current climate of the media during the pandemic as well as the importance of teaching media literacy to everyone. We discuss how the cable news networks have been covering COVID 19 (2:14), the anger created by disinformation (5:50), the importance of teaching media literacy (9:45), the rise of "Infotainment" (16:50), why political satirists have been labeled as the new truth tellers (21:08), teaching children media literacy (25:48), whether we could implement media literacy into elementary, middle or high schools so people learn how to navigate media sooner, were we prepared to take on the influence of social media when it was created (37:18) and then we wrap up the podcast talking about what his experience was like teaching courses outside of campus due to the pandemic (41:32). You can follow Professor McFadden on his twitter which is @bfadds. Link is here https://twitter.com/bfadds
To emphasize how important this topic is to me, here is a link that will give you a run down of the concept of media literacy. I personally believe we must adapt to the constant changing nature of media and the sooner people are able to adapt and understand the many messages sent by media, the better off we will be.
