Welcome to the Sports Media podcast.

I'm your host Richard Dyche.

My producer is Patrick Antonetti.

One guest on this podcast, but an excellent one.

And in fact, we won't work together at Sports Illustrated way back in the day. Chris Chavez is the

founder and CEO of Sidious Mag. Now, if you are a track and field nerd, you are certainly aware

of it. If not, the mission of Sidious Mag is to make it easier and more fun to be in track fan in the United States.

So if you're headed to their site, which is CITI-U-S-M-A-G.com, they share content on track across

social, video, podcasts, articles, newsletters to keep people connected with all things track and field.

And I want to have Chris on because the 2024 U.S.

Olympic trials from Hayward in Oregon, or Hayward Field, I should say, in Eugene, Oregon,

start June 21st.

And then, of course, right after that, the Paris Olympics.

And with that, I in chris chavez welcome

to the sports media podcast chris thanks for having me no i mean i've been a fan since you know

your s i day's and you were doing the show there and you know i love listening to all the different

guests that you bring on week week after week well ch Chris, I'm very, uh, thank you.

Um, and, uh, I think what you know, I knew you way back when, when you were a young dude,

you were always so into track and feel and then so into the Olympics.

So it's very, very cool to see what you have, um, developed with that passion.

Also, I will just let the audience,

and I'm fighting a bit of a cold.
