In this episode of The Small Moves Podcast, Jason interviewed Glenn Clark, whom Baltimore sports fans have turned to for their dose of real-time sports actions for almost a decade. 

Jason dives into Glenn’s career journey, and how opportunities came to Glenn’s way when he got fired from his work, and how he found his storytelling passion through sports. Glenn shares his pragmatic approach to analysis of the Ravens, Orioles, Terps games.  And how he is able to craft and find inspiration from player’s backstories for his feature articles.

Glenn Clark is best known for spending six years at WNST, where he once got Joe Flacco to proclaim himself to be the best quarterback in the NFL. As Clark says, “you ask a dumb question, you get a historic, timeless answer. Tried and true.”
