- Our First Year: Sports Politics, & a Podcast - a podcast by Andrew, Ed, and Zak

Welcome back to the Bill Bradley Collective, where this week your hosts reflect on both a full year in the COVID-19 pandemic and the completion of our first year as a podcast. The conversation  focuses on the effect COVID has had on how we consume, critique and appreciate sports, and how this unprecedented year has shaped our consideration of this country’s politics and government. One of the silver linings of 2020 and this first quarter of 2021 has been the ability to record this podcast safely distanced and largely outdoors. Commencing a project centered on sports and politics days before the plug was essentially pulled on sports for months may have been something of a fool’s errand, but we’re still here a year later because of anyone and everyone that’s given the Bill Bradley Collective a listen. We are truly humbled by your patronage. First the rants, where we learn about Zak’s experience living in the shadow of wife Laura’s prodigious fantasy sports acumen; Andrew questions the continued decision to use ill-prepared, incurious NBA pundits in NCAA tournament coverage, and finally Ed examines the media’s sorry fascination with an oft-disgraced hoops coach and his latest career turn.
