The WhoDeannyPod

Drew Rizzo-Connor returns to share some thoughts on the NBA at the end of the year.

Who are the biggest surprises?

Which player would we start a team with on April 1?

Why are some teams failing to meet expectations?

All this and more.

Enjoy!

Everyone else is doing end of decade compilations; we're different here. Jake Thurman makes his debut on the WhoDeannyPod to talk about the most important year of movies EVER! It's a twenty year retrospective all about 1999, the Best. Movie. Year. Ever.

Find out more in the Brian Raftery book that launched this discussion. And enjoy the pod!

Kaila Lewis returns to the WhoDeannyPod to share some of her experiences working for an NFL team. She speaks directly to the difficulty of some players being discouraged from using their own voice. No surprise as to which players are forwarded to the media.

Because she's solutions oriented, Kaila makes some great suggestions on how to improve press interactions for teams, players, and media. Hope you enjoy this inside look!
