The Phonetic

Introducing The Phonetic: An audio sports storytelling experience.

My name is Jake Fischer. You've likely read my work at Sports Illustrated, The Boston Globe and SB Nation among others. In today's ever-changing media landscape, everyone has a podcast. But few, if any, use the growing medium to produce original storytelling. I will use this space to recreate all of my upcoming written work phonetically, through sound. Thank you for listening, I hope you enjoy and please send any feedback you have to [email protected]. The podcast will join iTunes shortly with a few other episodes.

Today's episode, we'll take a look inside the incredibly fun story behind Zaza Pachulia's epic "Game 7!" speech during the 2008 NBA playoffs. Now that Pachulia will start alongside Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry at center for the historically talented Golden State Warriors, I have a feeling this story will come back into relevance this season.

Please subscribe on iTunes, Soundcloud and share the podcast with a friend. Have a great weekend!

Intro/Outro music: I'm Done - Spose.
