You'Re listening to how to be a better human.
I'm your host, Chris Duffy.
When it comes to sports, I know nothing.
I really cannot overstate how little I know about sports.
There was a period of several years in a row where I kept putting together comedy shows, booking the venue and the comedians, and then realizing that it was at the exact day and time as the Super Bowl.
I was like, why is no one buying tickets for this?
And then it became abundantly clear.
And that is why the Super bowl is now a recurring event in my calendar.
And when it comes to playing sports, I am not much better.
In high school, I was the first person ever benched on the ultimate Frisbee team.
So I think that gives you a really clear sense of the kind of fierce, unstoppable competitor that I am.
If I'm being honest, I have always felt like sports were for other people, not for me.
But today's guest, Jody Abergan, is all about sports.
Hes also reported on them and built a career around them.
And I have to say, over the course of our conversation, Jody really changed my mind.
He convinced me that whether youre already a rabid sports fan or if youre someone like me, whos kind of a complete novice, sports can be a lens through which we can really become better humans.
Jody hosts a new podcast for the TED audio collective called Good Sport, which gets deep into all these sorts of issues.
Heres a clip from the show.
This is the part of the first episode of a new podcast series where I tell you who I am and what were up to my names.
