Navigating Media Instability and Political Relations

Hello, media consumers! Do not adjust your podcast feeds, as Bryan is joined by Joel on the Monday edition with David away on assignment. They kick off the show with J School, where he discusses a few things, including covering big games on holidays and the Netflix NFL broadcast team (1:30). Then, they exchange Jolabokaflod Gifts (13:31). 

Then they discuss college football and how ESPN has been critical of the College Football Playoff… while televising it (17:53).

They close out the show by recapping 2024. First, they talk about it being the year of the “Media Bro,” where they discuss athletes/sports pods rejecting Democrats (37:37), then it being the year of the “media layoff” (48:22), and lastly, it being the year in “ducking media” (52:40).

Finally, they reflect on the lives of Jimmy Carter and Greg Gumbel (56:31).
