WishBone

The Secrets Of Sport-Love. We are pulled between aggression and affection.  Take to the gridiron.  Hit him helmet to helmet.  Slap his ass all friendly.  Man you beat down, your new best friend.  Butt-pads for the bumpy world.  Better: the forward pass, spiraling tightly over gravity, and the pigskin lands light in your open hands.  Take off like a scalded dog. We are going deeper into the locker room than you’ve ever been.  We reveal the secrets of sport-love.  Footballs, soccer balls, basketballs, balls of all damn kinds.  Smell the sweat, the fear.  But everybody’s high-fiving and chest-bumping.  Your teammate is your very special pal. BELT: A 2-Man Memoir is a podcast about masculinity by Joel Tauber and Eric Wilson. Dino Herrmann composed the music and did the sound design. For this episode, Wishbone, we interviewed Conner Mertens, the first active college football player to come out publicly about his bi-sexuality.
