It was literally months in the making. Jerry Brewer, columnist for the Seattle Times, and I have been trading tweets for ages trying to get beers or lunch or something more personable than social media. We settled for a phone call, and recorded it for everyone to hear. I asked Jerry for some background on how he got in the sports journalism biz, how he is challenging himself as a writer, and what advice he could provide aspiring journalists. Then we spent a bunch of time talking about the results of the Seahawks draft, and whether Seattle’s defense will be the best in the NFL.
If you haven’t read Jerry’s blog, be sure to check it out. It’s nearly an hour of podcast goodness. Enjoy!
