The WhoDeannyPod

Mac Perkins and Caroline Todd make a triumphant return to the WhoDeannyPod!

Two of my favorite guests, former students, and people, these young folks give us great reminders of just how malleable and insightful their generation truly is.

I'm incredibly excited to follow their journeys into college and the future!

Slow this one down to 1x speed, y'all!

Franklin asks pointed questions about the multiple giant mysteries still surrounding this POTUS. Perhaps most urgently, what does Trump actually care to know?

The WhoDeannyPod returns with a mini-pod recognizing the beautiful new reality that America finally agrees that #BlackLivesMatter.

Drew Rizzo-Connor joins us again to talk about the ESPN doc, The Last Dance. Drew and Franklin talk about frustrated Pacers fandom, Michael Jordan's reluctance to speak up for Harvey Gannt, Isiah Thomas' role as Jordan's foil, some superstar comparison, and Drew's love for Air Jordans in this super fun, wide reaching conversation about hoops and much, much more.

ENJOY!

N. B.

A book we reference a couple times is Jack McCallum's The Dream Team. It's fantastic.

So are the Mars Blackmon commercials. "It's gotta be the shoes."
