Episode 373: Mina Kimes

Mina Kimes is a senior writer at ESPN and the host of the podcast ESPN Daily. “What I’ve found, and this is something I did not know would be the case going into it, is that sports stories—and, at the risk of sounding a bit self-important, maybe someone like me writing sports stories or talking about it in particular—can have an impact in other ways that have revealed themselves to me over time.” Thanks to Mailchimp, Pitt Writers, and Native Deodorant for sponsoring this week's episode. @minakimes minakimes.tumblr.com Kimes on Longform Longform Podcast #12: Mina Kimes ESPN Daily Podcast [05:37] “Me, My Father, and Russell Wilson: Why This Seahawks Season Makes Me Unspeakably Happy” (Slate • 2014) [10:46] “Aly Raisman Takes the Floor” (ESPN • 2018) [10:55] “Drew Brees Has a Dream He'd Like to Sell You” (ESPN • 2016) [12:11] ESPN's Around the Horn [12:12] ESPN's Highly Questionable [20:48] “How Darrelle Revis Became the NFL's Savviest Negotiator” (ESPN • 2015) [24:18] “The Unkillable Demon King” (ESPN • 2015) [26:23] “The Art of Letting Go” (ESPN • 2016) [27:31] “The Unbreakable Bond” (ESPN • 2016) [34:09] “The Work Diary of ESPN's Mina Kimes (and Her Dog, Lenny)” (The New York Times • 2019) [34:32] ESPN Daily [35:26] The Mina Kimes Show Featuring Lenny [36:52] “Baker Mayfield Isn't Afraid of the Hype” (ESPN • 2019) [39:16] “After a Decade Apart, Antonio Brown and T.Y.
