What does it take to be a sports hot-take artist? And, could Jody do it? Sports debate shows aren’t always about facts – they’re about getting people to watch by any means necessary. And these shows pretty much wrote the playbook on how we debate across the media. In this episode, Jody gets coached on how to argue like a sportscaster from sports television host and friend Katie Nolan, and dives into the history of “televised antagonism” with journalist James Andrew Miller. Listen to hear how sports debate shows changed the media landscape forever. Transcripts for Good Sport are available at go.ted.com/GStranscripts
