Episode Description
Episode 625 of the Sports Media Podcast features Jon Wertheim, who does features and player interviews for TNT Sports's live coverage of the French Open and also works as a "60 Minutes" correspondent, a Tennis Channel analyst, and a Sports Illustrated Senior Enterprise Writer. In this podcast we discuss Jaxson Dart introducing President Donald Trump at a rally on behalf of Representative Mike Lawler which caused an eruption on social media and the greater sports media ecosystem; whether that act opens up Dart for journalistic inquiry about the decision; whether it is fair to ask teammates about it; why it's fair to make the same inquiries of all athletes who delve into podcasts, from LeBron to Steve Kerr; the French Open draws and why the women's tournament is more interesting this year; the access that tennis journalists get; what TNT Sports is doing differently with tennis; Andre Agassi as a broadcaster; Dana White and politics; Wertheim's work on "60 Minutes" and more.
