Jessica Luther, aka scATX, aka my friend Jess, does a weekly podcast for her sports blog, Power Forward. This week, she interviewed me for a conversation about The Redemption of Mike Tyson, following his appearance at the Tonys and a new profile at ESPN.
We talk about a whole bunch of stuff: Mike Tyson, redemption narratives, white savior tropes, rape culture narratives, the dehumanization of all-sinner and all-saint stories, media responsibility, cultural priorities, and pigeons.
It's a really great conversation, and I hope you'll listen to it.
Also! Subscribe to Jess' podcast generally, because it's superb. You don't have to be a sports fan. Just a fan of interesting conversations.
