We hope to know in our hearts when enough is enough. 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 Diana Taurasi’s retirement; Travis’s NOT retirement; we respond to listener pushback about Travis and politics; the NFLPA report cards are IN!; 4 Nations breakdown; an upsetting corner about trans athletes being denied visas; and the Yankees rescind some of their stupid-ass rules; and robots may or may not be coming to baseball.
