In this mini pod, something a little different ... we're joined by New England Patriots beat reporter Ryan Hannable. Ryan discusses his path to covering the New England Patriots, challenges he's facing in journalism and sports reporting and discusses what it's like covering a team as popular and intriguing as the New England Patriots.

Ryan also gives us his thoughts on the upcoming NFL Divisional Round game between the Patriots and the Los Angeles (still San Diego to me) Chargers.

We hope you enjoy this different, more light-hearted mini-pod.
