In this episode, we dive into how people view quality journalism these days and how ESPN is not making a very good attempt at putting quality journalism as a top priority in their products.  We also talk about our favorite kind of food...just to lighten things up a bit in an otherwise serious podcast.

This is unscripted, real conversation. This is what happens off the air. This is Off the Record.

34:02 - Tim recaps Lodge 49 from last night and Jon brings up how shows need to stay on their main story.
