GC welcomes Courtney Cronin, IU alumna and ESPN Chicago Bears reporter, to the podcast. We talk about her background as a Chicago-area native, her time at Indiana as a student and media member, and her gradual progression through the sports media landscape before reaching the Worldwide Leader in Sports.
At the 28:00 minute mark we talk about NFL draft coverage, the environment in Chicago surrounding the team, and the ways in which local knowledge helps coverage.
The show goes pretty deep into work-life balance, the sports media grind and the sorts of things that go through the minds of the people who cover the games. We talk about Courtney's experiences on Around The Horn, her proximity to the filming locations of The Bear, and why JJ McCarthy is getting talked about as a top six pick. Plus we talk about a bunch of other things! It was a wide-ranging conversation that I thoroughly enjoyed, hopefully you will too.
