2 Degrees of BobEpisode 17 — Flashback SATURDAY — Tiger WoodsIn 2000, Tiger Woods was in the midst of one of the greatest runs in the history of sports, let alone golf. Days after winning the Canadian Open — after making one of the greatest shots of his career on the 72nd hole — Tiger was contractually obligated by one of his sponsors, EA Sports, to talk video games with a journalist. I was freelancing for USA Weekend and got the call. It did not go well. I'm getting uncomfortable just thinking about it.FEEDBACK? CLICK HERE

2 Degrees of BobEpisode 16 — Working Man WEDNESDAY — BobCab (Part 1)Nearly 16 years ago—in the days before Uber and Lyft—a documentary dream job of mine fell through and I ended up getting a job driving a cab in Austin, TX. I soon grew to love the city, the people and the idea of starting a cab-centric podcast called Rideo, which would feature recordings of some of my cab rides. A decade and a half later, these are the first two rides I've ever shared in a podcast. FEEDBACK? CLICK HERE
