Hey there, it's Michael Lewis, author of Going Infinite, The Big Short, Moneyball, and Liars Poker.

On the latest season of my podcast, Against the Rules, I'm exploring what it means to be a sports fan in America, and what the rise of sports betting is doing to our teams, our states, and ourselves.

screen time before COVID, and then
