Episode 538: Craig Calcaterra, Author of Rethinking Fandom

Craig Calcaterra joins Daniel Ford and Mike Nelson on the show to chat about his book Rethinking Fandom: How to Beat the Sports-Industrial Complex at Its Own Game.

If you’re not having fun, if this is not enjoyable for you, whether it’s following the sport, supporting that team, rooting for that player, you need to check yourself and ask why you’re doing it and what you can do differently.
