Get us on the chicken circuit. A podcast about where pop culture and sports culture collide… inspired by the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Culture critic and novelist Zan Romanoff and journalist and Scamfluencers senior producer Sarah Enni discuss the Colorado Rockies’ historically bad record; an NBA Finals and Stanley Cup update; reprehensible blowhard writes hockey romance novel; Zan’s new obsession with tennis has us asking: just how evil is Rolex?; Republicans in Congress want sports team owners to pay more in taxes; Democratic presidential hopefuls are coming to a sports podcast near you (but not this one!); and a new women's professional softball league gets a Major League boost.
