Nostalgia, Media Buzz, and Football Thrills
from An Americanist · host Carol Marks
TALK TO ME, TEXT ITEver been called "Sugar Bunny" in your childhood? We kick off with some laughter, reminiscing about quirky nicknames like "Kiro" that might just make you recall your own. From there, we venture into a more serious realm, discussing the intriguing shifts in public personas of figures such as Kamala Harris on platforms like Howard Stern and The View. Are these transformations genuine or merely a media ploy? We don't shy away from skepticism, especially when addressing the media's penchant for amplifying accusations without solid evidence, with Donald Trump often at the center of such narratives.Switching from media madness to the thrill of sports, we dive into the weekend's college football matchups, explaining why a "bye week" isn't just about skipping a game. Excitement surrounds the Ohio State vs. Oregon and Texas vs. Oklahoma games, with a touch of nostalgia for the days when Texas and Oklahoma were in different conferences. We chat about the oddity of time changes due to SEC influence and anticipate more classic showdowns like Florida vs. Tennessee and Georgia’s next game. Whether you're caught up in the football frenzy or just in for the banter, we've got a little something for everyone!Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!
