Best-selling author Paul Kix joins Drew to talk about his new book, You Have to Be Prepared to Die Before You Can Begin to Live. Paul illustrates the most critical time in the history of the Civil Rights movement: ten weeks of protests that took place in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963. And he answers the thorny question if a mass Civil Rights movement actually work in an age of information overload and mass disinformation?

About The Show

From Defector Media: Former Deadspin writers Drew Magary and David Roth should really stick to sports. Sure, their new indie sports podcast will break down the week in sports: the Mets grounding into quadruple plays, NBA players getting testy on the court and horny on Instagram, Bill Belichick cutting 80% of his roster just to keep himself interested, horrifying takes from sports talk radio that need to be broken down, etc. But these two men and their guests will have their fair share of off-the-field issues they’ll also have to address: stupid Funbag questions, bad tweets from bad people, pointless food arguments, and even less. Every week is a VERY long week these days. We could all use a little Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
