Jody has a new podcast series! It’s called “Good Sport” and all this week we’re featuring episodes. Be sure to find it wherever you get your podcasts.
Today, we discuss the moment in 2003 when Rush Limbaugh was featured on ESPN’s football coverage. The first episode of Good Sport gets into the connections between sports talk and politics talk. It’s out now.
Sign up for our newsletter! We’ll be sending out links to all the stuff we recommended later this week.
