Given the lack of engaging podcasts about the craft of journalism, who would have guessed that one actually made sportswriting its niche? Enter Two Writers Slinging Yang. Running weekly since 2017, the show is hosted by Jeff Pearlman, a Sports Illustrated veteran and the author of many sports books, including Showtime, a chronicle of the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers. Most episodes feature sports journalists or media personalities (think ESPN’s Baxter Holmes or The New Yorker’s Louisa Thomas) who talk about their backgrounds, the industry, tricks of the trade, and tales from the front lines—or should we say courtside? —Jack Sullivan
