Hi, I'm Stefan Fatsis, and this is Slate's sports podcast. Hang up and listen for the week of April 26th, 2021.

On this week's show, we'll assess the extremely fast and incredibly delicious collapse of European football's Super League.

Tarek Panja of the New York Times will join us for that conversation.

We'll also discuss Stefan Curry's Ridiculous April, during which he's averaged damn near 40 points

per game.

And finally, we'll interview transgender runner and medical researcher Joanna Harper about the

fight over and future of transgender athletes in girls and women's sports. I'm the author of the book's

word freak, a few seconds of panic and wild and outside. I'm in Washington, D.C., looking via Zoom

at Slate's national editor, the author of the queen, the host of in Washington, D.C., looking via Zoom at Slate's National Editor,

the author of The Queen, the host of Slow Burn Season 4, and my friend Josh Levine, who's also

in our nation's capital. Hey, Josh. What a sweetie you are. We're flipping things, switching

things up for people. We've got to keep them on their toes.

We don't want people to just kind of get used to the same mental exercises.

Listener complacency is a bad thing. I feel like we need to be a little bit more harsh on our listeners.

We just provide them with all this enjoyable content.

Give them. Give them. And don't spend enough time yelling them and telling them how inadequate

they are. Yeah. We need to be more like, you know, a high school football coach. Speaking of

high school football, segue, joining us from Palo Alto, California, Slate staff writer Joel Anderson, host of Slow Burn

Season 3 and 6, high school football star.

What's up, Joel?
