When Private Conversations Go Public
Episode 35
Tuesday, 19 November, 2024
Oh, Jon Wertheim, 60 Minutes Correspondent, former Sports Illustrated Executive Editor, former(?) Tennis Channel Commentator, what have you done? Oh, you got caught on a hot mic during a live broadcast of the WTA Final saying something untoward about a top female player's looks? This sounds bad. Like, very bad.But it raises questions about how we all navigate our private vs. public realms. We see people on TV and we talk about how they look. We mirror and we judge. We don't necessarily feel great about it, but it's human nature, probably.In this episode, we dig into the Jon Wertheim suspension from the Tennis Channel, Jannik Sinner's latest unlucky turn with his ongoing doping investigation, and the exploding world of Bluesky!
