Hey everybody, this is Richard Ditch and welcome to the sports media podcast.

My producer is Patrick Antonetti.

Two segments this week, four guests.

that process, their own personal journeys that they went through and then just

some advice for people if they want to take their skills in the sports media and move to another

which he's reporting on for ESPN, what's changed in the case, and they've had a significant

change here, how the WMBA is involved in what they're doing, the challenge are reporting

on Griner, and some other issues with that case. So Amy Moritz, Amy K. Nelson,

Kat O'Brien to start, and then T.J. Quinn on the sports media podcast.
