We believe all sensuality is necessary. A sports podcast through a pop culture lens. Culture critic and novelist Zan Romanoff and journalist and Scamfluencers senior producer Sarah Enni discuss playoff baseball and why crying is more than okay; WNBA players are openly feuding with their commissioner; when sports coverage gets downright erotic; locker room miming; James Dolan is watching you right now; young Americans increasingly agree that sports betting is bad; and we talk to Alissa Walker, LA journalist covering the massive sporting events coming to the city for her newsletter, Torched.
