Description: Just after the closing ceremonies of the Olympics in Milan, we sat down with Emmy award-winning commentator Bomani Jones for a special live recording. We get into FBI director Kash Patel’s locker room antics after the US men’s team won gold, why Bomani calls them the “whiter Olympics,” and we ask who gets to define America as the US gets ready to host the World Cup this summer. We also sit down with producers Paula Lavigne and Dan Arruda from ESPN’s 30 for 30 Podcasts to discuss their latest true crime series, “Murder at the U,” which investigates the killing of former Miami Hurricanes star Bryan Pata and the 20-year saga of trying to find justice for him and his family. Show Notes FBI director joins US men's hockey team celebration | ABC Why is ICE going to the Winter Olympics in Milan | The Guardian Trump discourages Iranian soccer team from attending the World Cup, citing safety concerns | PBS The Right Time with Bomani Jones Podcast Introducing: Murder at the U | 30 for 30 Podcasts Show CreditsHost: David GreeneExecutive Producers: Joan Isabella, Tom GrahslerSenior Producer: Michael OlcottProducer: Michaela WinbergAssociate Producer: Bibiana CorreaTalent Booker: Britt KahnEngineer: Mike Villers, Adam StaniczeskiTile Art: Bea WallingSports in America is a production of WHYY, distributed by PRX, and part of the NPR podcast network.
