Ep 01: The Politics of El Gusano
Episode 1
Thursday, 17 October, 2024

Jemele opens the premiere episode of SPOLITICS with "The Filibuster," explaining the state of the union between politics and sports — a history lesson and a wake-up call. Then, Jemele is joined by her former ESPN and current Meadowlark Media colleague Dan Le Batard, host of THE DAN LE BATARD SHOW. Dan and Jemele bond over their inability to "stick to sports." Dan explains how his Cuban heritage influenced his worldview and why American politics have disheartened him. Jemele and Dan also reminisce on their ESPN days and compare their experiences to Pat McAfee and Stephen A. Smith’s unprecedented power. Plus, find out the infamous figure who is responsible for Dan’s love of sports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
