Over the course of this series, host Meredith Shiner has explored how Jewish culture, American culture, and sports culture intersect. She’s talked to journalists, athletes, amateur and professional sports nerds, and fans who have spent as much time obsessing over these topics as she has. And in this final episode, she looks back on what she’s learned—and what surprised her—through the process of reporting and writing this series.
