HoS: Spike Eskin, Talking LeBron+ JJ Redick and Michael Porter Jr. Podcast Ventures
April 11, 2024 14:53 - 1 minute - 1.45 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Top flight Audio Man Spike Eskin is here to discuss the newest NBA podcast hits. Spike’s gotten a lot of mileage out of humorously critiquing LeBron and JJ Redick’s “Mind the Game” pod, but perhaps he should be focusing more of his energy on Michael Porter Jr.’s “Curious Mike” product? Topics discussed: * Is Spike a hater for laughing at LeBron’s Internet-lauded NBA strategy podcast? What’s wrong with two...
HoS: Ryan Glasspiegel on the Caitlin Clark Boom, backlash from other women's players and that Outkick Final Four question
April 08, 2024 18:11 - 3 minutes - 4.12 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode.

HoS: Guy Haberman on his voice, amicable breakup with John Middlekauff, and what the 49ers will do
April 04, 2024 22:28 - 1 hour - 90.1 MBSports announcers and 49ers Youtuber Guy Haberman had vocal cord surgery and now sounds like Patty + Selma. I find his current predicament fascinating. He insists the subject of announcer voice issues isn’t interesting. We start talking 49ers around the 52 minute mark, for people who are into that sort of thing. Topics include: * What does a vocal cord surgery do for a broadcaster? * Which sports announcers qualify for Top 5 “All Pipes” Team * Do New York announcers have the best accent...

HoS: Kat Rosenfield on Huberman, Blasey Ford and the Vibe Shift
March 29, 2024 22:01 - 3 minutes - 3.66 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com In the Elon X era, no article ever goes viral. At least that’s what I used to think. But now, of late, articles in New York Magazine and The Cut have broken through as a sort of rage bait. To assess what’s going on, we’ve called in honest and trenchant culture writer Kat Rosenfield. Topics include but aren’t limited to… * Pre mourning your old dog * Getting “serious” with your significant other early * T...
HoS: Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner
March 28, 2024 08:02 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MBIf you’re an NBA fan you know who Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner are, beyond being recent guests on House of Strauss. In this episode, I used my “stupid questions” approach to ask these current media members about their old jobs. The answers? Well, they were anything but stupid. Enjoy… House of Strauss is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other s...
HoS: Joe Pompliano
March 22, 2024 22:41 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBJoe covers sports, business and often how the two intertwine. He’s been all over the sports + gambling topic, most recently with his viral observation on live sports betting integration getting added into NBA League Pass. Basically, Joe discusses all my favorite topics, so of course we had a great conversation. Topics include but aren’t limited to… * How America and Europe are on opposite timelines with sports betting * Is the sports betting boom going to harm young peoples’ sports fandom?...
HoS: Chris Vernon
March 20, 2024 18:54 - 4 minutes - 5.41 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Thrilled to have Chris Vernon on because I’ve long been curious about his career as an NBA + overall sports podcaster. The best way I can summarize Verno for those who do not know: Think if Sam Kinison was really into the Memphis Grizzlies. Topics include but are not limited to… * Vernon used to hilariously CRUSH Pau Gasol * How Chris chose the Grizzlies as his success vehicle * Why Robert Saleh is the...
HoS: Tom Haberstroh Has a Smoking Gun on NBA Not Calling Fouls (Or Does He?)
March 14, 2024 20:44 - 58 minutes - 53.2 MBIncidentally, Subscribe to my channel if you want the occasional video/Youtube experience for non paywalled articles… Tom Haberstroh has written an explosive article in The Finder about just how improbable the NBA’s post All-Star break scoring drought is. I think it’s impossible to look at these numbers and reach any conclusion other than that the NBA directed referees to call games differently. But does Tom himself think this? Discussion includes but is not limited to… * A wild free throw...
HoS: Razib Khan
March 07, 2024 23:28 - 8 minutes - 9.5 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com I’m not sure how to describe this free flowing conversation with geneticist and writer Razib Khan, which was to be expected since Zeeb’s one of the most brilliant/idiosyncratic people I’ve ever met. Naturally, this talk is all over the place after beginning with, and I’m not sure there’s another way to describe this, social media reaction to “Aella’s birthday gangbang”. Topics discussed: * Razib knows the...
HoS: Larry Krueger
March 07, 2024 02:50 - 1 hour - 95.3 MBLarry Krueger, proprietor of The Krueg Show, and former Bay Area radio mainstay, might know a thing or two about succeeding locally. A couple years ago he was pushed out of his role at KNBR, at which point he started building his 49ers-centric Youtube channel. It’s been a big success, currently at over 40,000 subscribers and rapidly gaining. As a fan of his channel, I wanted insight into the comeback story behind it and Larry’s overall perspective on media. Pod discussion includes, but is ...
HoS: Frank Isola
March 01, 2024 22:30 - 3 minutes - 3.73 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com What have I been doing with my life, waiting this long to have Frank Isola on? Frank’s a famously bold New York Knicks beat writer turned multi media star. You can find him on ESPN and Sirius radio, talking NBA and a range of other subjects. Frank comes from the era (and region) where media was confrontational. The overall modern lack of confrontation was just one subject we addressed in this podcast. Topi...
HoS: Richard Hanania
February 28, 2024 10:07 - 3 minutes - 3.48 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Richard Hanania is, I believe, the most controversial person to appear on this podcast (though I’m curious if the subscribers can offer up some competitors for that title). Based on his public profile one might think his book, The Origins of Woke, would be a searing polemic. But it’s not. It’s really more of a law history with a focus on how legal decisions determine institutional policy and cultural norms. ...
HoS: Sarah Hepola
February 20, 2024 18:19 - 1 hour - 82.4 MBFriend of Pod Sarah Hepola is on to discuss the viral Emily Gould divorce essay. Some of you might be blessedly unaware, but this piece kicked off quite a chattering class firestorm on Valentine's Day. Many despised Gould and saw in her so many failings of millennial culture writers. Others praised her work as honest and vulnerable. Since Sarah wrote an incredible, sometimes self-lacerating book about her own battle with alcoholism, she’s well positioned to offer a verdict or two here. We...
HoS: Saam Esfandiari on...are the Warriors good?
February 15, 2024 08:29 - 2 minutes - 3.18 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Late collapse against the Clippers on Wednesday notwithstanding…the Warriors suddenly look pretty good. Given the recent vibe shift, I figured I’d ring up Light Years co-host Saam Esfandiari to discuss the Draymond-fueled run of good play plus a variety of other topics in media. Discussion includes but is not limited to… * Which hurt Bay Area fans more: The 2024 Super Bowl loss, or the Warriors losing Game ...
HoS: Ashlee Vance on Uncovered Roman Scrolls
February 09, 2024 16:07 - 59 minutes - 54.8 MBWe love having Ashlee on because he’s always covering a fascinating topic. Today it’s how AI is being used to decipher ancient Roman scrolls that were damaged by the Vesuvius eruption. Thanks to the technology of the future, we might be on the precipice of learning about the mysterious past. What knowledge might we gain here? Why is the Catholic Church perhaps worried about the implications? And what’s with the meme of dudes obsessing over ancient Rome? We discuss all this, plus how Ashlee f...
HoS: Ryan Glasspiegel, ESPN/FOX/WBD alliance
February 07, 2024 20:04 - 2 minutes - 3.1 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Ryan Glasspiegel, our nation’s preeminent sports media critic, is back, and trying to explain this “ESPN, Fox and Warner Team Up to Create Sports Streaming Platform” story. We’ve both got some questions, but the main one is this: What type of person is going to pay for this service? In the second half of the pod, we’re talking… * Super Bowl prop bets, including a sneaky long shot from radio legend Larry K...
HoS: Guy Haberman
January 31, 2024 14:07 - 1 hour - 74.9 MBI love Guy, and should have had him on sooner than this. In his day job, he’s an expert play-by-bay man for a variety of sports. In his burgeoning other career, though, he’s a rising force on San Francisco 49ers Youtube. We discussed this upcoming 49ers-Chiefs Super Bowl, talking Brock Purdy (of course) and whether Purdy haters or Purdy evangelists were more to blame for the insane discourse surrounding the Niners QB. Then we got weird, addressing whether aliens exist and if greater collecti...
HoS: Kmele Foster
January 29, 2024 21:21 - 3 minutes - 4.47 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com One of my favorite conversations on this site, if I do say so myself (Subscribe today!). Many of you are familiar with Kmele Foster’s work on The Fifth Column and other platforms, but I’d say it’s rare to get him in an interview setting. Obviously, Kmele did not disappoint. Few in media think deeply on as wide a range of available subjects as Kmele does, which is why we were able to discuss all of the follow...
HoS: John Middlekauff on NBA media softness vs. NFL media harshness
January 18, 2024 17:07 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBFormer NFL scout and current rising YouTuber John Middlekauff takes on NBA vs NFL media culture, plus he delivers a BOLD prediction for NBA TV rights. Among other topics, we discuss how taboo it is in sports media to think about the most important person: The customer. House of Strauss is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other subscribers or ge...

HoS: Nick Wright Grills Me
January 11, 2024 01:24 - 1 hour - 64 MBFirst Things First co-host and Friend of Pod Nick Wright respectfully and angrily disagrees with my Rodgers vs. Kimmel take. He’s got a viral take of his own that he felt I’d slighted by extension. We decided to hash it out and after much vigorous disagreement, arrived at some fascinating topics I didn’t anticipate. This started as an argument, then turned into a cathartic journey into how the pandemic period can’t quite be let go. I’m glad we talked as this was one of my favorite HoS conver...

HoS: Erich Schwartzel on Death of an Influencer
January 08, 2024 19:46 - 1 hour - 70.2 MBCertain stories just grab you and Erich Schwartzel’s “Behind the Tragic, Instagram-Perfect Life of an Ex-Disney Executive,” is such a tale. After I read it, I knew we needed to have a conversation about the now deceased Dave Hollis, a man whose seemingly perfect life was upended by the project of broadcasting it. Erich is a star entertainment reporter for the Wall Street Journal, Friend of Pod, and fascinating thinker on these modern issues. This is the first podcast I’m submitting to the ...
HoS: EMERGENCY ESPN vs. McAfee Meltdown Pod with Ryan Glasspiegel
January 06, 2024 00:09 - 1 minute - 2.23 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Had to send word to our favorite New York Postman. Had to do it in lieu of ESPN’s Pat McAfee using his show as a platform to attack ESPN brass, by name. What the hell is happening here? What direction is ESPN going? Who is this “Norby” guy McAfee’s mad at? We get into it.
HoS: Spike Eskin
December 29, 2023 22:38 - 1 hour - 81.2 MBWe are joined by Spike Eskin, friend of pod, Rights to Ricky Sanchez co-host, and WFAN muckity muck. This was a wide ranging one, including but not limited to: * My shaky foray into tweeting, in defense of ratings talk * Spike and I discussing what it’s like to have a negative take and how it tilts what you want * NFL writer Bill Barnwell takes a shot at the Eagles fans * A subscriber emails me a Sam Hinkie takedown for Spike to address * Can civilians do real NFL analysis? * A reader...

HoS: Tyler Dunne on his Explosive Sean McDermott Series
December 18, 2023 21:26 - 4 minutes - 4.79 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com I love Tyler Dunne’s approach to covering the NFL, which you can find on his Go Long Substack. Tyler chases a deeper understanding instead of low calorie clicks, so it was surprising/hilarious to see his 21,000 word deep dive on the Bills coach go viral due to one embarrassing anecdote (Hint: It has something to do with 9/11). We get into the story, the fallout, Josh Allen, and so much else about modern foot...

December 13, 2023 22:59 - 12 minutes - 11.7 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com The Gist host Mike Pesca made an embarrassing confession to me, supported with evidence: In 2023, House of Strauss was Mike’s most listened to podcast. Not only did Mike air this shameful admission, but he graciously agreed to do a Year in Review pod with me about HoS. In it, we get into many topics, including how certain interviews went, how other interviews should have gone and how much basketball do I act...

To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Star Substacker Rob Henderson has written a spectacularly haunting memoir of his own life, titled Troubled. Consider this podcast a sneak preview, as the book is coming soon and you won’t want to miss it. Rob is not only among America’s leading millennial intellectuals, but his upbringing is among the roughest I’ve ever heard. It’s a miracle that he’s self sustaining, to say nothing of achieving so highly as...

HoS: Steve Kornacki
December 06, 2023 12:04 - 1 hour - 76.8 MBSteve Kornacki is, as you may know, the affable guy who gives you highly accurate election information on NBC. He’s got other projects, though, and I found this one fascinating. In this episode we discuss “The Revolution,” a podcast series on Newt Gingrich’s rise to power. Kornacki’s series argues that the Newt-fueled 1994 Republican takeover of the House is crucial to understanding our current era. Before the 1994 midterms, we were in one political reality; Afterwards, the country fundame...
HoS: Andrew Bogut
December 01, 2023 09:31 - 4 minutes - 5.13 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com We booked Bogut. Then Australian NBA news items popped up and the Warriors lost a 24 point lead on national TV. Just as we got Henry Kissinger killed earlier in the week, it seems HoS has had a negative impact on all issues adjacent to our wonderful guest. No matter. It was a great talk, especially when we went down Warriors memory lane. Before all that, we, of course, discussed whether this is the end for...
HoS: Ross Barkan on Israel and U.S. Politics
November 17, 2023 23:38 - 1 hour - 76.2 MBWe’re rejoined by Ross Barkan, the best New York politics reporter, plus an overall astute commentator on many matters. This time, we’re talking about how the Israel/Gaza situation has shaken up U.S. domestic politics and revealed a massive generation gap between TikToker and TV watcher. I’m aware that not everyone necessarily comes to HoS for this conversation, but I aim to channel what’s interesting to me, in hopes it might be interesting to you. Oh yea, and towards the end, Ross and I d...
HoS: Pablo Torre
November 14, 2023 23:46 - 12 minutes - 11.1 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com We talk to Pablo, host of Pablo Finds Out, proprietor of the Pablo Torre Substack, and all around media man. I’m very intrigued by his recent interviews, including but not limited to Larsa Pippen + Marcus Jordan. We discuss this inquiry into forbidden love, Dan Le Batard’s Trump tapes, Stephen A. Smith’s sex advice and much more regarding the modern sports media landscape.
HoS: Vincent Goodwill
November 11, 2023 16:09 - 1 hour - 77.3 MBMr. Goodwill is, to borrow a phrase from Colin Cowherd, a young man who’s covered the NBA forever. He currently writes and podcasts about the league at Yahoo!, but he once was a beat writer, cutting his teeth while following terrible teams. In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about what the NBA media industry was like, and what our lives were like. Did we live in a golden age without really knowing it? House of Strauss is a reader-supported publication. To receive...
HoS: Light Years Boys
November 09, 2023 08:36 - 3 minutes - 4.43 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com This podcast is unlike the other podcasts. Why? Because Super Producer Anthony Mayes spliced in our reaction to Adam Silver talking on another podcast. Beyond and because all that, a great conversation among pod friends. Topics include but aren’t limited to… * We all watch Adam Silver talking about the ways NBA Twitter influences league policy (2:40) * We spend many minutes doing a Mystery Science Theatre ...
HoS: Dumb NBA Questions for Big Wos
November 03, 2023 14:21 - 7 minutes - 8.48 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Big Wos wears many hats, but chief among them is all encompassing NBA analyst. So I brought back the gimmick I used for Nate Duncan and asked the man some dumb normie questions. Then, because it’s Wos, we couldn’t help but break away from that conversation and touch on a range of sports culture topics (including the insanity of the LeBron Decision Era, college football culture and pro athletes cheating on th...
HoS: Andrew Sharp on the Adam Silver Era
November 01, 2023 22:04 - 4 minutes - 5.48 MBThis is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Andrew Sharp is the co-host of three great and wholly different podcasts. He’s an NBA diehard, but also an Adam Silver Era skeptic, which makes him unusual among current podcasters. Obviously, I share something in common with such a perspective. In this episode, we end up cathartically venting about the Silver era, discuss the in season tournament experiment that’s upon us and consider whether LeBron James...
HoS: Chuck Klosterman
October 26, 2023 19:23 - 1 hour - 73.8 MBBecause I can’t get enough of The Nineties, we had to have Chuck back to discuss its sports cultural aspects, specifically with an eye towards the evolution of college football. Chuck has worried publicly about CFB losing its soul, which it appears to be in some capacity, but the sport is also surging in popularity. What do we make of this paradox? We discuss that, plus get into the NBA’s “care deficit” problem, how sports need an illusion of realness, the myth making of LeBron vs. Kobe, D...

To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post is here, following an avalanche of NBA and ESPNbusiness news. In this episode, we attempt to separate real from rumor, possibility from wishcasting. I believe we succeeded in yet another informative and entertaining podcast. Topics include but aren’t limited to… Amazon with a Thursday NBA package? (2:00) * Is this an appealing option to anyone outside the NBA? Is the...

HoS: Nikolai Yakovenko
October 20, 2023 14:31 - 1 hour - 69.9 MBNikolai Yakovenko is a man of many hats (pro poker, jiu-jitsu, computer engineering, archery, baseball analytics), but the main reason we’re talking to him is because he founded an AI-generated competing newspaper. Are machines set to take over for journalists? We get into this and so much more, including whether Michael Lewis deserves critcism. Topics include but aren’t limited to… Explaining the AI newspaper (4:00) * What is DeepNews? Can an AI Successfully Write my Last Article? (6:50)...

To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com First Things First is my favorite favorite sports show on TV and with the NFL season in full swing, FTF is as well. So, I figured this would be a good occasion to get more insights from co-host Nick Wright on why this is the rare sports TV show that works. We also debate that Brock Purdy guy he’s down on. Great pod all around, Nick was quite generous with his time and takes. Timestamps provided by the astu...

To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com I’ve been sick this week, but thankfully the great Marcus Thompson is here to help me discuss both local and national sports topics of interest. I really enjoyed this ep, even if it nearly killed me.

If you could pay a million...

To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Katie Herzog, the funny and insightful co-host of Blocked and Reported is back 1) Because she has an open invite to appear on HoS and 2) Because BAR covered the Trevor Bauer saga, as I did too. Our conversation starts on the media coverage of Bauer and then gets into other journalism topics. Pod subjects timestamped by the astute Sam Schuette include… Trevor Bauer Saga (1:10) * Why did mainstream outlets q...

To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Nancy Rommelmann is one of my favorite journalists, so I looked to her on the question of whether there are any actual rules in journalism. She did not disappoint. In this pod, we discussed Portland expert Nancy’s live reaction to the Damian Lillard trade, her take on WaPo vs. Portnoy, and that “Has the Sexual Revolution Failed” debate down in Los Angeles. Topics in this podcast include by aren’t limited t...

To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Adam Mares is the brilliant impresario behind the DNVR sports media empire, a local institution, rooted in a literal Denver bar, that he’s building out to new cities and ventures. While the Denver Nuggets have been central to Adam’s personal coverage and the rise of DNVR, the arrival of Deion Sanders as coach of Colorado has been entirely different sort of windfall. This episode is about how one captures the...
