Relatively Speaking Podcast Episode 103

Relatively Speaking Podcast

On this edition of the podcast, the guys have a very special guest lined up. Mirin Fader -- of the OC Register, Bleacher Report Magazine, SLAM, and others -- joins the show. Before our interview with one of the best long form writers on the planet, Jared and Joseph begin the show by discussing some of the weirder things in life. Important subjects such as: What are the two doing today? Bad jokes! What are the weekend plans! Riveting stuff as always. Per Relatively Speaking Podcast law, the interview starts with five rabid fire questions. Find out what Mirin thinks of the chances of whales and humans living side-by-side. She also discusses her love of pandas. Jared claims an athlete as a New Yorker, even though she is a native of a town a few thousand miles away. This edition of rabid fire questions was very legitimate. As for the real part of the interview: Mirin discusses her journey as a sports writer; what she did prior to writing; what inspires her; the state of the industry; breaking through glass ceilings; and so much more. Mirin was easily one of the podcast's best and most enlightening guests. One of the last things touched on was Mirin's latest feature for Bleacher Report. It was on the "The real first family of hoops." It is on the Ogwumike sisters and you should read that wonderful piece right here. The show ends as it often does, with Absurd Questions. Joseph asks: If you can reboot or take over a TV show from a creative position, which one would it be and why? Jared asks: How would you prefer to die... drowning or in a fire?
