Words fail me. The Hobey Baker story is informative, impactful and timely. Made me think deeply about human relationships and that’s a good thing.
I thought the episodes regarding the crimes perpetrated by Otani‘s translator were excellent.
Specifically regarding the Ohtani podcast. Found it really hard to listen. Presented like the listener had absolutely no knowledge of sports or gambling (or news) and the reporter uses first-person pronouns about 100 times in the first 15 minutes. I would be very interested in this story but don’t think I want to get it here.
The investigative journalism is extremely well done and informative. However, the editing and flow of the content is extremely challenging. Random cuts to commercials, journalist constantly using first-person, weird intermittent music, interjection with not a ton of context, etc.
Shohei Ohtani fall guy, not for one second do I think Ohtani wasn’t gambling. 30 for 30 gives my sports minded children and I something relevant to explore and engage in, sure my Alphas say “omg, she is listen to her old people stuff again”, my mom listen to NPR during my childhood and there are lots of teachable moments with audio media.
