Up Next - A Podcast Up FrontCrushed: The Magic Shot
Co-Executive Producer Adam Schlossman tells us about Religion of Sports’ newest podcast,
Crushed. Adam introduces us to host and sportswriter Joan Niesen as she revisits the steroid
era to untangle its truth from the many myths, examine the legacy of baseball’s farthest-
reaching scandal, and explore what it tells us about sports culture in America. Adam also
introduces us to the episode “The Magic Shot,” where we hear never-before-heard stories about
baseball’s steroid era.
At the height of the steroid era, players across baseball had to decide if they should use—and
reap the benefits—or stay clean. We meet two such players and follow the ripple effects of their
choices.
