Edge of Sports

Dave Zirin is an essential journalist in sports landscape all too littered with pablum and shiny distractions—he tells the perspectives and shares voices that few others will. But one pro tip, Dave: update the links in your podcast notes! The link for your website goes to your old, outdated site. And add your Patreon URL so that more people can support you! And lastly, all the complainers need to sit down: this podcast is published by The Nation and just a couple episode titles will tell you which side of the spectrum you’re going to hear, so don’t even start….

Dave Zirin is the best sports historian and journalist. He’s truthful, dynamic and incredibly intelligent! Huge fan!

A truth to power kind of podcast within the world of sports. Best type of listen!

For all the great political edge and value of this podcast, it’s a bummer that it has such little representation or analysis of women’s sports. The relative absence of the WNBA and NWSL is especially disappointing (and arguably hypocritical). If the gender balance of coverage were improved, this podcast would level up so much.
