It's the first full-length pod with the entire gang! Brittany basks in her Wild Card victory over the Seahawks, Armaan wakes from his hibernation after a 1st week Bye, and Will has started making candles as a hobby! (The last part is not mentioned in the podcast at all, but still worth mentioning.)
The gang discusses their thoughts on teams implementing a Second Screen Experience™ and what some best practices might be for attracting a targeted market. (5:00) Then, they're joined by Hunter Renfro, who discusses his experience working in Research/Analytics during a pandemic-influenced season and why he wishes more people would stop focusing on "impressions" as a metric for successful sponsorships. (15:30)

Then, we dive into a great conversation with Keira Emerson, discussing how to leverage a championship for more data, engaging fans outside of the arena, and some best-practice talk on surveying fans. (15:30) By the end of the convo, you'll be screaming, "Play Gloria!"

After a week delay, we're back with another episode, just in time to celebrate Women's History Month! First, the crew has their own mini-discussion on WHM in relation to sports (0:30) before bringing on Katrina to talk about all things esports/gaming -- and, as it turns out, music and traditional sports, too! (8:45). Near the end, Katrina & Brittany share more compelling stories about what it's like being a woman in sports, the importance of allies stepping up, and things we can do to change the current dynamic (41:40).
As always, this episode is brought to you by St. Lucia. Not the band, which plays our outro every week, but the country that doesn't pay us anything to be the official sponsor of the podcast. We are terrible negotiators.
