Dave Zirin is a sportswriter and Sports Editor at the Nation magazine. I met him a few years ago at a book signing with John Carlos. His book about John Carlos and his "raised fist" is so powerful.
Dave is such a regular guy and so accessible that I asked him if he would be interested in interviewing Bill to talk about The Queen's Gambit. He was excited to do it.
Of course the question came up: Is chess a game or a sport?
The interview goes far beyond the Gambit phenomenon. Bill and Dave meditate on art, society, and our current predicament. They both end up celebrating the power of a great story well told.
You can find the interview at Apple Podcasts. Go to Edge of Sports.
You're a great publicist. With all your connections you could have another career.
