2. All about sports - mainly New York sports

In this week's episode, it’s all about sports - mainly New York sports. Mainly, in fact, New York baseball and football! We talk about the Yankees, the Mets, the Giants and yes, even the Jets. We also talk about fandom, positive and negative ways we’ve seen it expressed, and how the pandemic has affected sports this past year leading into this year.

As a show note, we had some technical issues during the end of this episode. It shouldn’t be too distracting and it is explained in the context of the show. Also, we sometimes release episodes out of the order in which we originally recorded them, so you will hear a reference to something coming up in a future podcast.

Thanks for listening to the podcast; if you are enjoying the show, please follow the show and share with others.
