Kamala Harris Is Coming to Your Podcast, Players Are Trying to Eject Reporters From the Locker Room, and Our National Bit Crisis

Listen Later


Hello, media consumers! Bryan and David open with two contradictory ideas: “The return of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog” and “there are too many bits (0:36).”Then they get into the following:

  • Kamala Harris's current podcast tour (10:12)
  • NFL players wanting to kick reporters out of the locker room (22:54)
  • Kate Winslet playing a war correspondent in the movie 'Lee' (31:03)
  • Everyone is introducing a paywall (36:27)

    • Later they react to breaking news, as Shams Charania joins ESPN as the new senior NBA reporter (44:34).

    Plus, the Overworked Twitter Joke of the Week, Only in Journalism, and David Shoemaker Guesses the Strained-Pun Headline.

    Hosts: Bryan Curtis and David Shoemaker

    Producer: Brian H. Waters
