We’d also take the Lambeau Leap. 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 breaking of Jeff Skinner’s curse; harmonica national anthems; prank phone calls, we hate them; crying at the most heartwarming moment from the NFL draft; an update on Bill Belichick’s mystifying relationship; and we talk to comedian Tim Baltz about the NBA and pole dancing as an Olympic sport.
