    Pardon the Interruption… But Did Sports Debate Shows Change the World?

    Pardon the Interruption… But Did Sports Debate Shows Change the World?

    Here's a preview from Good Sport, a new show from TED. What does it take to be a sports hot-take artist? And, could Jody do it? Sports debate shows aren’t always about facts – they’re about getting people to watch by any means necessary. And these shows pretty much wrote the playbook on how we debate across the media. In this episode, Jody gets coached on how to argue like a sportscaster from sports television host and friend Katie Nolan, and dives into the history of “televised antagonism” with journalist James Andrew Miller. Listen to hear how sports debate shows changed the media landscape forever. Find Good Sport wherever you get your podcasts.

Jacush ,

One challenge at a time

This podcast breaks down what appear to be big structural societal issues into smaller components, providing a clear path to solution. Informative, timely and concise

Wordswork ,

Brilliant...

These problems become manageable with the help of such clear thinkers. Wading our way out of the ‘details’ that bury the problem shows us they ARE Solvable !

KTownBRD ,

Meh

Really just a one on one rant about a specific part of some global issue. Not providing the answers.
