The Matt Jones Podcast takes its turn honoring The Greatest.  It begins with Tony Vanetti giving some hometown perspective before Matt is joined by Dave Kindred.  Kindred began following Ali as a young reporter for The Courier-Journal before authoring the book Sound and Fury: Two Powerful Lives, One Fateful Friendship.  A few highlights:

--  How Ali's image changed after the '96 Olympics in Atlanta.

--  Kindred's personal perspective of Ali and how he will remember him.

--  The symbiotic relationship between Ali and Howard Cosell.
