HoS Pod: Michelle Beadle
What’s the story on the introduction you use for your podcasts. It’s really catchy!
I listened to this the whole way through. And two things stood out. First, Michelle’s strange beef with Lebron is bizarre. Is he actually capable of getting people fired? Just how powerful is this guy in media circles?
Second, and I don’t know how to say this constructively, but I am growing a little tired of hearing about how ESPN is a toxic place to work from people who used to work there. I just feel like it’s become a little repetitive.
