Noa grew up in Boston, liked talking about basketball, and made the goal to make that her job. She tells us about her unorthodox journalism training, when she figured out when she could write well (and not so well, apparently), being a woman in sports, her other passions outside of journalism and the Celtics, and the return of the Lightning Round.

Happy Birthday! IAC turns 7 years old!

Two-part show today as we celebrate, we welcome back Glynn Hill of the Washington Post to chat about Sports Illustrated, when he figured out that he was good at writing, what he's learned at the Post, and Caitlin Clark. Then, after Glynn, I look back at seven years, our one show in March, and what the next few months will look like.

As we are a Louisiana-based podcast, it felt fitting to do this and with the support of the folks at Spotify, we did. Dr. Yevan Terrien is a visiting instructor of Louisiana History and Early American History at the University of Louisiana. We asked about the origins, traditions, and different methods of honoring the holiday, from city to city, and how it's celebrated outside of the United States. Bonus points if you can name the first capital of Louisiana. Thanks for indulging us and happy Mardi Gras!

To kickoff 2024, we have on friend of the program, two-time World Cup veteran, and FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas to chat about a few things. First and foremost, the game/show of social media, but the dangers of using the stage. After that, Alexi jumps into his view on politics in America and how folks talk about it in the current landscape. Next, we moved to his love of music, the story of his tour with Hootie & The Blowfish, his studio albums, and his favorite artists from the past and today. Lastly, he talks about Rob Stone, Carli Lloyd, and his Australian adventure for the World Cup.
