A key component of the Varsity NC Sustack I've launched is the Varsity Views Podcast.
This podcast will be an interview podcast. I’ll talk to newsmakers in high school sports, whether that’s athletes who have achieved something notable or committed to a school, coaches who are going above and beyond, administrators working on high school sports policy, or others who are impacting high school athletics.
I’ll also feature discussions with reporters and journalists at media outlets across the state. My goal is to help shine a spotlight on the work being done by members of the media to showcase high school sports. There are fewer and fewer outlets investing in high school sports coverage, so the more attention we can give to the work that does exist, the more likely that investment is to continue.
I also want to include guests who work in fields that are adjacent to high school athletics, or athletics in general, who can provide helpful information for athletes, parents, and coaches.
My goal is to publish this podcast once per week, with sporadic bonus episodes as needed. The podcast is free, and you can subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts or watch it on YouTube. Some bonus content may be for Varsity NC subscribers, though.
Complete transparency: It may take a few weeks to figure out the best cadence for publishing new shows. Right now, I plan to publish a new show on Wednesdays. That could change, though.
I also want to make this podcast interactive. Tell me what topics you want to hear discussed, suggest interviews, or give me feedback about what you do or don’t like about the podcast. I promise I’ll read every message you send to me.
In the meantime, be sure to follow me on social media:
