Sports reporters Justin Wise and Joseph Hoyt had me on their podcast Overtime to discuss my recent feature story “Into Battle: The Bruises and Bonds of Brotherhood.” Since the piece has started to gain traction within the sports  and larger journalism community, we sat down to talk about the writing process, how the story came to be, and what I learned about myself as someone trying to reconcile the norms of hockey culture inculcated into me at a young age with caring about the players with whom I had worked for years.

Below is a the original episode description as well as a way to listen to it.

From the original post:

For most people, a concussion is a good sign for you to stop doing what you’re doing, and go to the hospital. But for a UO hockey player, it’s just a sign to play even harder.

In episode 2 of Overtime, Justin Wise and Joseph Hoyt talk to sports writer Anne Yilmaz about her multimedia piece, “Into Battle: The bruises and bonds of brotherhood.” The story follows the University of Oregon’s hockey team and its untarnished culture that predicates on playing despite being hurt.

Overtime is a weekly podcast dedicated to talking in-depth about what’s happening in University of Oregon sports. A new episode premieres every Monday, and it’ll soon be on iTunes. Until then, you can stream or download the first episode in the SoundCloud link below.
