The Pepper On Sports Podcast: Episode 12

(00:00)

Introduction

(02:50)

 

Journalist Chuck Modiano discusses the intersection of race, sports and Donald Trump during perhaps the wildest election year in recent history. Modiano also honors Sara Ganim, the journalist who broke the Penn State sexual abuse scandal nearly five years ago.

(29:22)

It's the debut of a new segment called Pepper's Picks in Books and Film.  I'll let you know what I'm reading and watching (well, only the stuff I like) and why you should join the party.

(34:48)

12-time Paralympic gold medalist Jessica Long will "wow" you.  Her life story reads like a fictional tale meant for the silver screen.  From being born without lower legs in Siberia to swimming for Team USA alongside Michael Phelps, Long shares her unique life experiences with us. If you'd like to watch a short documentary about Long's trip to visit her birth family in Russia for the first time, click here.
