Rick Telander Says Goodbye to the Sun-Times—but Not to the Storytelling

from The Chicago Smokehouse

After nearly three decades as one of Chicago’s most distinctive voices in sports journalism, Rick Telander is moving on from the Chicago Sun-Times. The longtime columnist and Sportswriters Hall of Fame member announced that he has accepted a buyout from the newspaper. The episode, co-hosted with self-described “almost broadcast legend” John Howell, was equal parts reflection, frustration, and humor—an impromptu farewell from one of the city’s most revered writers who insists he’s not fading away, just turning the page. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
