Hello and welcome to Mind of Myka.

It's the return of Myka's Reed of the Week. And today our piece is about the Michael Jordan documentary,

The Last Dance. Specifically, how this movie or docu series documentary whatever you want to call it came to be made and

why now if you want to hear us discuss the actual documentary, you can do that on our

sports podcast, Back Door Cover. Brad Key and I will be breaking down every episode either a day or two after they air life.

So if you want to hear my thoughts on the episode and what it means, check it out there

Back Door Cover available wherever you listen to podcast.

But today we're going to be talking about how this got made.

The pieces from Yahoo Sports, it's written by Dan Wetzel.

It's titled How One Man Persuaded Michael Jordan

to do The Last Dance.

E-SPN reports that more than 6.1 million people watched the documentary.

That was the average viewership last night for parts 1 and 2, which is more than any documentary, any

SPN history, and I would assume perhaps more at any one time than any documentary

ever, certainly on cable.

This is what everyone's talking about, and we're going to talk about it here.

So let's get start.

I will say I record this episode earlier and the file got messed up so this is round two

hopefully it's a little smoother this time Dan Wetsle of course a tremendous

journalists and a great writer.

Here's the piece.
