The Inspiring Rise of NFL Reporter, Kimberley Martin - a podcast by The Football Girl

In this 28th episode, veteran NFL writer Kimberley A. Martin, and VERY soon to be Senior Reporter for Yahoo, takes listeners through her unique whirlwind journey covering the Jets, Bills, and Redskins in the past year for three different outlets. Martin dives deep into the art and joys of storytelling: "To me there is nothing better than to sit with somebody, have them open up and to then filter their whole journey in your own words, which are their words," she says

Martin also thoughtfully discusses being a unicorn as a black female writer in NFL locker rooms. Plus she breaks down Alex Smith finding peace in Washington, the NFL storylines that will move the needle this season, and the figures she would most like to profile.

Later on, Melissa names David Tepper as our Do-Gooder of the Week. The new Carolina owner partnered with several organizations run by Panthers players to donate 12,000 backpacks to Charlotte-area schools.
