Episode 325 of the Sports Media Podcast with Richard Deitsch features three guests. First up is Men in Blazers  co-founder Roger Bennett and USWNT midfielder and podcaster Sam Mewis, who have combined forces with longtime USWNT center back Becky Sauerbrunn to broadcast on Twitch during the Women’s World Cup. Bennett and Mewis will be live on the Men In Blazers’ Twitch feed for the Women’s World Cup semifinals and final. In this podcast, Bennett and Mewis discuss how they approach a second screen experience for soccer fans; why they have had audiences of more than 500,000 viewers on their Twitch feed; Mewis on watching the WWC coverage this month and how that differed from how she consumed media as a player; the next evolution of Men In Blazers; Mewis’s post-playing interest in working in the media and more. Dodd discusses his new book with Mark Dent, “Kingdom Quarterback: Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs, and How a Once Swingin' Cow Town Chased the Ultimate Comeback”; the roots of Kansas City and how it is Everytown USA; why Mahomes has succeeded; how Dodd views Mahomes historically; why Kansas City is unique as a sports town; why Dodd sees Mahomes as similar to Steph Curry; New York City sports versus Kansas City sports and how media coverage differs in each city and more. You can subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, and more.
