About this episode
America’s pastime used to be baseball, but these days football is clearly king. Author Chuck Klosterman joins guest host Paige Phelps to discuss all things football – from the fervor of a Friday night high school game to a fan’s complicity in violence and injury – plus a look at what would happen if the sport faded away. His book is called “Football.”
