Episode • Apr 20, 2020 • 45m
Sports journalist Andrew Pridgen joins us to talk about pro wrestling, its recent classification in Florida as an essential business, and owner Vince McMahon's subsequent immediate layoff of dozens of employees. We talk about the state of affairs with sports right now during the pandemic and the continued decline of organized labor. Andrew also shares his story from cub newspaper reporter through freelancer during hard times, as well as other writers' experiences. Lots of laughs despite some tough topics.
