Show notes

This week we are honored to joined by Steve Almond for a discussion of fandom and how we understand modern sports. What does the commodification of sports mean for our experience of it? How do we understand the negative nature of the modern sporting world while still understanding the joy we have all experienced while watching the game? What role do sports play in our modern relationships and what alternatives exist? We also dig into the impact of climate change on sports and how Becky Hammon is being treated differently.
