Description

The 2020 (and, in some cases, 2021) postseasons of several American sports were changed drastically by Covid, from playoffs contained to bubbles to drastically shortened seasons and changes to postseason formats. But the way fans and media members think about and discuss the champions of these unusual seasons varies somewhat widely, which is why Ryan Nanni and Steven Godfrey sit down on this episode to figure out why some Covid title-winners are met with disdain while others are not. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
