Summary

Few beat writers have needled the Florida State fan base quite like Safid Deen. The former beat writer from the Tallahassee Democrat (2014-2016) and the Orlando Sentinel (2016-2018) is a Florida graduate, so that played a role in the instigation. But Deen also closely covered some important stories during a transition time for the program, and also showed outside-the-box thinking in some of his feature writing. Deen joins On The Bench in our Meet The Beat series to explain his needling, his view on the end of the Fisher Era and more To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	You're going to have our worst guest ever from the Meet the Beat Series.
0:25.8	This is the one you guys are going to hate.
0:27.8	I hate it already because he's been really mean to me in pre-recording.
0:30.6	Sophadine!
0:31.8	I can't say where he works now, but he did cover FSU from 2014 to 2018 for both the Tallahassee
0:38.4	Democrat and the Orlando Sentinel.
0:40.3	I have Josh Newburgh with me as well to help keep this interview on the rails but I'm very skeptical right now. They're gaining up on me.
0:46.2	Fellas, welcome to on the bench. How's it going?
0:51.2	Was that my cue Brendan because you're talking to two people at the same time here?
0:54.4	I said fellows and Josh is just you're
0:56.6	and Josh is muted too and I can't hear Josh. I'm not muted. I just think that as a host, you don't throw it to two people who are not sitting in the
1:05.8	same room as each other and hope that they figure out who's going to talk first.
1:09.7	So yeah, they're, Saffin, welcome to the on-the- bench podcast. I'm glad you're here. How you doing, man?
1:15.6	No, thank you for the welcome man. I really appreciate Brendan having me on.
1:21.0	Nice to say hello to the old FSU fans who may still have me blocked or muted on
1:27.4	Twitter, but it's all good, it's all good.
1:29.4	Hello everybody.
1:30.4	I thought it was a fine introduction. You both could have just said, hey,
1:34.5	Brendan at the same time and that would have been it. Anyways, let's not dwell on it. Let's get into this.
1:40.2	Soffit is going to be, I would say, polarizing. We had to Sean Reed on before and I thought that was going to be
1:45.8	polarizing, but I don't even know, man, like I think people, Saffid, do you think anyone's going to enjoy
1:51.9	listening to you on this? I hope some people do, but what are your expectations as you as you set out on being a guest on our on the bench Meet the Beat series?
