Description
Follow Pablo down the rabbit hole, beyond the game — every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday — on his award-winning video podcast, now part of The Athletic Podcast Network.
You’ll get a deep-dive "talkumentary" episode, reported by Pablo and Curiosity Correspondents like Emmy-winning comedian Wyatt Cenac and Oscar-winning director Ezra Edelman, answering urgent questions such as: Are you smarter than an NFL quarterback? Does Giannis intentionally miss free throws to win free chicken for fans? And why does the FBI director play so much hockey? This storytelling has been honored by the Edward R. Murrow Awards and Peabody Awards. (Journalism!)
Plus: Pablo hangs out with handpicked figures from sports, culture and politics like Sue Bird, Action Bronson and a U.S. Senator… plays Share & Tell with friends like Domonique Foxworth, Mina Kimes, Katie Nolan and Dan Le Batard (aka his boss)… and unveils the secrets of capitalism with David Samson and John Skipper on The Sporting Class.

In an era devoid of accountability for the Epstein class and sports owners (and in-between), Pablo finds a kindred spirit in the OG blogger turned ESPN insider turned fellow independent muckraker who's not afraid to call out the backroom dynamics of Adam Silver during wartime: If billionaires can't police themselves, does cheating matter? Do the people who run the sport... really love the sport? If there's no effort to be decent, where do the lies end? And if Steve Ballmer's already negotiating, what is his minimum viable punishment?• Previously on PTFO: Ballmer's Tree-Money, the Whistle-Blowers and the Document You've Been Waiting For• "Bron got me on sea bass"• Subscribe to TrueHoop by Henry Abbott(Pablo Torre Finds Out is independently produced by Meadowlark Media and distributed by The Athletic.

So Roy Wood Jr. sits down with Pablo, on-stage at On Air Fest, to make sense of working under a hostile merger, while persevering the algorithm, learning from live-streamers and still focusing on himself enough to tell jokes as the chef intended — all without becoming part of somebody else's propaganda.

He used his instinctual superpower to sign an all-star roster of everyone from Stone Temple Pilots and Katy Perry to, yes, Kid Rock. Now, record executive Jason Flom (with a little help from the spirit of Muhammad Ali) is performing a different kind of miracle, with his obsession to get innocent people out of prison.

A wrongfully convicted football fan is running out of time. So Pablo travels from the free world to Texas, to sit with Charles Flores for the one hour a day when he's not in solitary confinement. To learn what it feels like to watch the NFL through the bars of a super-max prison. To understand why Charles continues to await execution, a decade after the real killer went free.

I envy anyone who's seen this documentary
Great episode Mr Torre
LOL that's not how the United States acts. With all due respect, Rep Khanna...yes, it is. The US has been an empire effectively since the late 19th century. Ask Puerto Ricans or Samoans about that
the backslapping stench of usa
I doubt usa opinion anymore.
lol
ptfo
Karl Malone impregnated a 12-year-old And then deny the paternity of his obvious daughter
Absolutely tremendous episode
Props to Pablo for pushing back, it feels so obvious that Balmer called Cuban up and asked him to do some damage control. Or someone else
freaking weird how he stuck up for Ballmer so vehemently. maybe dig into the Mavs next lol
people who believe trans female athletes are men who purposefully transition just to compete against women in sports have to be the most gullible and easily propagandize people on the planet
Absolutely Awesome work on this Mr Torre by you and Mr Florio.
What a tremendously well-done interview with MS Khan. I should be ashamed of myself for not being more familiar with her. I truly appreciate your efforts, Mr. Torre, to open our eyes, ears, and minds while consuming our sports. Keep up the outstanding work Youngman.
5 star episode
Tremendous interview Mr Torre with Senator King. The Veg-O-Matic example of separation of power by the Senator has a lot of you younger folks might say, “Dope”. I truly enjoy your podcast, and your ability to entertain AND educate.
you know you love a show when you faithfully listen to reruns
Great episode.
Leave Prince alone. Keep his life private like he wanted to. Even though I’d love to see it. I feel guilty putting all his albums on my Spotify lol. Prince is God in my book. He’s one sexy mother funker. The only true genius of any genre of music. He jammed in his guitar like no other. Totally up there with the best, he surpassed Hendrix. ✌🏻💜
