Episode 151: Sugartooth with Dr. Molly Yanity
from The Other 51 Hosted by Brian Moritz
Five years ago, Brian started a podcast about writing, and his first guest was his dear friend, Dr. Molly Yanity. To celebrate our fifth anniversary, Molly returns to talk about sports journalism, Brandi Carlile, academic writing and more. Molly talks about how her writing live has changed over the past five years, how she balances writing with teaching and administrative work. Here’s the secret — being a sports writer was way harder than being in academia. Molly also describes how teaching sports journalism for a number of years made her better at sports writing when she covered the WNBA for The Athletic. Molly discusses her upcoming edited book about the 2019 Women’s World Cup, and she turns the tables on Brian and asks him questions for a change. She puts him on the spot really quickly. They also geek out about the best things they’ve read lately. Thanks to all of you who’ve listened and shared over the past five years. To many more!
