1-21-16 - Katie Baker on Mike Francesa, Careers, Bill Simmons, Dazed and Confused

Katie Baker, formerly of Deadspin and Grantland and Mike Francesa fan,  joins the Thursday Talk podcast to discuss topics from all over the map.

We go over her beginnings in a career that started in finance and somehow ended up in sportswriting and contributing to Deadspin

Katie explains her love of hockey, but maybe notso much the fans all the time.

She describes the process involved with teaming up with Bill SImmons and being a Grantland staff writer.

We go over the beauty that is the movie, "Dazed and Confused" and how it capitulates someone or something from high school.

But of course, we tackle her love for Mike Francesa and the Mike and the Mad Dog program. She describes what FrancesaCon 2 was like last year and reveals her sorrow for not being in attendance at FrancesaCon 3.

Perhaps at FrancesaCon 4?
