Larry Wilmore here, host of the podcast, Larry Wilmore, Black, Um, Air.

Now, in my latest episode, I talked to Senator Bernie Sanders about the state of the Democratic Party,

and the polarization happening in America and Trump's rise to power.

And Trump picked up and he said, you know what? I feel your pain.

The establishment is ignoring you. I, Donald Trump, I, of all people.

I'm going to take on the establishment. Well, he lied, of course.

Yeah. But that was his message.

Howdy and welcome to channel 33.

This is the press box. And I'm Brian Curtis.

Editor-large of the ringer. We have three guests on today's show.

First up, Brian Kenny from MLB Network is going to talk about the downsizing of one of ESPN's signature shows,

Baseball Tonight. And then the ringer's clear McNear is going to discuss Fox News and how they've covered,

or haven't covered the revelations about Trump and Russia.

And finally, my buddy John Greenberg from the Athletic Chicago is going to come on and talk about all the Chicago Cubs related books

that have come out since the magical World Series run and this whole idea of instant nostalgia.

We're still processing the carnage of the ESPN layoffs and one victim that I think remains under processed is Baseball Tonight,

the venerable ESPN highlight show, a long time face of that show Jason Stark out laid off.

And now Baseball Tonight has been relegated to just one permanent night on ESPN schedule.

So joining me to appreciate baseball tonight is MLB Network host author of the book ahead of the curve and a former baseball tonight host himself,

Brian Kenny, Brian, how are you? Good, Brian. It's good to talk to you always.
