Welcome to Episode 58! We bring on Bridger, the founder and editor in chief of New Grantland. That's right - a website dedicated to continuing the legacy and spirit of the epic Bill Simmons led ESPN project in the early 2010s.

We start off discussing what we both loved about Grantland, and why it truly was a once in a generation publication and also the last of its kind in the internet era. Also, why hasn't Bill done the same with The Ringer?

We then discuss the evolution of sports media and reference one of Bridger's articles for the site. How did Twitter kill the sports journalist? We next discuss the evolution of Bill Simmons and his writing career in classic r/BS Pod form.
