EPISODE 216: How to understand March Madness.
When I worked at Sports Illustrated, I spent so many March weekends on the road: traveling between NCAA Tournament sites, embedding with college basketball teams, and reporting from the Final Four.
I remember covering VCU’s miracle run.
I remember encountering a teenage Anthony Davis at Kentucky.
I remember 2011, in Houston, when Drake caught me taking a picture of him talking to former University of Texas quarterback Vince Young:
But I don’t go on the road like that anymore.
Which is why, for this week’s March Madness Share & Tell, I turned to two people who have recently devoted their lives to reporting from college campuses: Lucy Rohden (of Meadowlark Media) and
(of the Read Rodge Substack).And together, they help me answer some key questions. Such as:
What would you do if you got hit by a stomach bug while driving a Nissan Sentra? Are UNC grads actually bigger assholes than Duke fans? Should you pick your bracket solely based on mascots? And what’s the age of consent in Atlantis?
Plus: Chihuahua Guy, Vomit Girl, Mister Wuf, Prince Eric, Lady Cocks, Gentleman Zips, The North, and Hawkeye Elvis.
