Introducing... the Jacobin Sports Show!

For a limited time, the Jacobin Radio feed presents a new podcast called the Jacobin Sports Show! Co-hosts Matthew Miranda and Jonah Birch discuss the most meaningful stories from around the world of sports, both on and off the field. You can subscribe—and catch up on the first episode—on Apple, Spotify, or other platforms listed here: https://anchor.fm/jacobinsports/

This is the second episode, in which Matthew and Jonah are joined by Dave Zirin (@EdgeOfSports) to discuss the recent NBA trade in which the Nets acquired James Harden, joining Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn. They discuss the news, compare other famous high-scoring trios, and chat about a sports-film crossover with the new Regina King movie "One Night In Miami...", which portrays the NFL player Jim Brown (who Dave wrote a book about) in conversation with Sam Cooke, Muhammad Ali, and Malcolm X. Plus: A preview of Zirin's upcoming project, The Kaepernick Effect.

Dave Zirin is a sports editor for The Nation, creator of the podcast and blog The Edge of Sports, and author of several books including, most recently, Jim Brown: Last Man Standing.
