Our annual Zeigler podcast episode! This year's winner was Marijke Taks, who joined us to talk about her career journey. She talked about her PhD experience, transitioning to Canada, balance work and family, and her research along the way.

In the second part of our conference costs discussion, Dr. Kyle Rich joined us to provide perspective. We discussed his conference, benefits of running a smaller or larger conference, location value/cost, and the changing dynamics within the conference model.

The first part of our conference costs short series. Dr. Nels Popp walks us through the rising conference costs. We talk about conference site selection, hotel/host costs, conference experiences, and survey insights.

Really excited for this episode. With the huge push of AI happening this year, we brought in Dr. Yiran Su to talk about the intersection of AI and sport management. Our episode focused on academic (teaching + research) and practitioner impact. We talked about ChatGPT, Zoom, and other tech platforms!

We've talked before about collaboration on a research project, but now we want to talk about solo authorship. Dr. Elizabeth Delia at UMass joined to talk about her past experience working on solo papers: deciding on projects, writing sections, reviewer feedback, project management, and advice she would give to others.
