Tommy Tomlinson: Author, "Dogland: Passion, Glory, and Lots of Slobber at the Westminster Dog Show"

Amy Gutierrez: Emmy Award-winning reporter and author of, "Smarty Marty Takes the Field"
On the word-choice decisions one must make when writing a children's book. On the (gasp!) Dodger-loving grandma who inspired a character. On why we should cut Barry Bonds a break and why Will Clark is a lovely dude. On the hyper-criticized hug of a Major League pitcher.

Richard Hoffer: Former Sports Illustrated, Los Angeles Times writer
On the highs and lows of chasing around Barry Bonds for six days (and being blown off repeatedly); on what it was to cover Mike Tyson in his prime; on the death of boxing writing; on why he left the business and never looked back.

Justin Sayles: Editor/Writer, The Ringer and creator/host of "The Wedding Scammer" podcast
On the lengths he went through to track down and corner a master scam artist. On whether podcasts have a future as a journalistic medium. On what happens when you don't use material from people you interviewed.

Sarah D. Bunting: Lord of all bloggers and founder of Tomato Nation and Television Without Pity
On the heyday of the blogger and what became of the genre. On why James Van Der Beek earned her scorn. On how one becomes less cruel (for sport) with age. On whether blogs have a place in 2024.

On covering the Lady Vols as they approach yet another NCAA Tournament; on making the leap from Ferris State to the big leagues; on women athletes and the passion of self expression; on landing a sweet gig out of college.

Great listen…
As an aspiring writer, I love listening to these very candid exchanges of experience from Jeff and a range of fascinating guests from a variety of backgrounds. He tells it how it is. His books are pretty good too! The first podcast I listen to every week.
