Brad is the kind of person who makes you feel special just as you are while simultaneously making you want to be a better human. How does he do this?! 🤷🏻‍♀️ He is the genius behind Kid President, the writer of a delightful book called Becoming Better Grownups, and a source of inspiration and hope for millions. His comics are consistently featured in Magnolia magazine and he’s one of my absolute favorite instagram accounts to follow.

Talking to Brad reminded me let go of cynicism and look for the good in the world. He’s on a mission to create stories that cultivate empathy and imagination in kids and former kids. If you’re looking for a Mr. Rogers-style breath of fresh air, this episode is for you.

This is a repost of a 2016 episode.

In our 2016 holiday episode, we looked at the forgotten Christmas Eve tradition of telling ghost stories. M.R. James' work from over a hundred years ago best represents this Victorian trend, so in his honor we brought horror to academia and safe spaces.

Indeed, he’s a master at knowing which story deserves telling. Let everyone else make big bucks, Tyler’s in it for the cause and the love of the fight.

 Oakwood Pizza Box is the best version of the neighborhood pizza joint you grew up with. Anthony Guerra is a perfectionist of everything from Air Jordans to tomato sauce. Listening to this podcast will help you understand why and how Anthony Guerra was so successful at Bella Mia, An, and with opening Crawford & Son.

Remember when you were a kid and you went to the local pizza spot to grab a slice, a coca-cola and celebrate your little league game. Remember, where you went after the high school dance to debrief about all the gossip that just went down, this is that place but on steroids.

We get into why Anthony decided to go simple NYC style pizza, why this place is so important to him, his wife and his daughters, and why cheese is first.

Guest Biography

James Montague is a journalist and author who writes for the New York Times, CNN, GQ and World Soccer. His first book When Friday Comes: Football in the War Zone won him Best New Writer at the 2009 British Sports Book of the Year Awards and has recently been updated and reissued. He was described in Sports Illustrated as 'The Indiana Jones of soccer writing.' He appears regularly on CNN as well as writing and producing regular radio shows for the BBC World Service's award winning World Football show. He grew up in Essex and has spent the past eight years reporting from the Middle East and beyond.

Thirty One Nil: On the Road With Football’s Outsiders, a World Cup Odyssey (Bloomsbury) was released in May 2014, and a month later in the US. Thirty One Nil covers his journey to all six continents charting the qualification campaign for the World Cup finals in Brazil, through the eyes of the minnows and underdogs unlikely to make it there. Thirty One Nil won Best Football Book at the 2015 British Sports Book of the Year Awards.

The Billionaires Club: The Unstoppable Rise of Football’s Super-Rich (Bloomsbury) was released in August 2017, and in the US in October. The Billionaires Club tells the story of how the super rich have invested their wealth and political capital into football. It is a part history of club ownership, part in-depth investigation into the money and influence that connects the super-rich around the globe, and part travel book that crosses national boundaries in an attempt to reveal the real force behind modern-day football.
