We start the show breaking down the Birds big win against the Commanders to move to 8-2 Then we are joined for an engaging conversation with bestselling author John Feinstein as he discusses his latest book, 'The Ancient Eight,' which explores the unique culture of Ivy League sports. He reflects on his journey as a writer, the evolution of college athletics, and the significance of education in the lives of Ivy League athletes. Feinstein shares insights into the historical impact of the Ivy League on modern football, the intense rivalries that define the league, and the challenges student-athletes face in balancing academics and athletics. He also emphasizes the importance of using one's platform for advocacy, particularly in raising awareness for ALS research. Then we talk some Sixers and Flyers before closing out the show.
