Ep 23: Sports Fandom Is Good For You
Listen now
Description
I like watching sports, but I don’t have the dedication to be a diehard fan. To be a fan–especially a body-painting, tailgating kind of fan–you have love any player who joins the team or forgive constant losing and that ain’t my bag. There’s a lot of shit within sports fandoms I don’t understand, so I asked Josh Terry help break down what goes on behind the face paint.    Indulgence Nichole recommends Queens of Mystery, available online via AcornTV!   Guest Chicago-based writer Josh Terry has covered music and culture for a number of publications since 2012. His writing has been featured in VICE, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Vinyl Me Please, Chicago Magazine, The A.V. Club and others.
