Week 15 Newsletter: FORE!
Every year, we wait more than half a year for the NFL to return. Yet every year, it seems the regular season goes by even more quickly. Just like that, there are only four games left in the regular season. Pretty soon, we’ll be gathering to watch Super Bowl LX. But until then, we have our own Super Bowl…

Week 12 Newsletter: Cause(way) for Concern
I’ll be honest, I really didn’t have a theme for this newsletter. Then I remembered the football game happening this weekend. No, I’m not talking about anything in the NFL. Sacramento State and UC Davis are once again meeting up for the annual Causeway Classic. However, while this year’s matchup will be the 71st edition,…

Week 8 Newsletter: Seoul Power
한국에서 안녕하세요! 매년 2주씩 해외 여행을 떠나는 마지막 여정을 앞두고 있습니다. 지난주에는 오랫동안 미뤄왔던 일본으로 돌아와 도쿄와 오사카를 다시 탐험했습니다. 9년 만에 관점이 어떻게 바뀌는지 정말 놀랍습니다. 후지산에도 갔고, 남극 친구들과 함께 여행하지 않았다면 신일본 프로레슬링 경기에도 갔을 겁니다. 네, 에픽 리그 디펜딩 챔피언의 이름을 딴 선수들이 돌아왔고, 심지어 저를 따라 한국까지 온 선수들도 있습니다.…

Week 5 Newsletter: Drive to Survive
Have you guys seen this meme about things popular to children? Well, when it comes to which house I was sorted into, I chose the secret fifth option. That being said, I did have a preference for one of the main four, but not exactly as you’d expect. While I wasn’t into trucks per se, I was into…

Week 1 Newsletter: Who’s Your Daddy?
Holy shit, the season’s here already?! Where has the time gone? The last thing I can remember is the Raiders drafting Ashton Jeanty. Ever since then I’ve been in my room watching Jeanty’s college highlights, plus that time he sent Deommodore Lenoir to the shadow realm. That’s not entirely true. I also took a trip this summer to get several more…

Week 15 Newsletter: Absolute Cinema
As I’ve mentioned a few times before, this year I decided to re-attempt a challenge I completed nine years ago: watch 100 movies I’ve never seen before in a calendar year. Back then, I had realized there was a shocking amount of classic films I’d never seen. So I decided to cross a huge chunk…

Week 12 Newsletter: International Engagement
I was ready. I had everything set to go. Almost every section of the newsletter was written — I just had to finish a couple of paragraphs and do some picture editing. After some initial struggle, I had even thought of a theme. I hadn’t really gone into depth about my promotion at FOX40 and…

Week 9 Newsletter: Scarily Delicious
So as it turns out, it is possible to go to Morocco for several days and return home without becoming violently ill. I’m back in the USA, baby! I’m still dealing with a pretty killer case of jet lag, but I’m officially on home soil once again. Even though I walked all over the Iberian peninsula, I…

Week 6 Newsletter: No Notes
Today is a memorable day for several reasons. It’s potentially the day I do the last 5 p.m. show for the foreseeable future before I start my new Senior Producer schedule. It’s a day where I get to watch football and playoff baseball. My voice is finally starting to come back after this past weekend.…
