Journalism: Dr. Julie Williams

Samford University professor and accomplished journalism historian Dr. Julie Williams offers her insight into what she teaches, her own personal relationship with media history, and her prognosis and historical perspective on the state of journalism. A big portion of what I just mentioned above is exclusively talked about on Spotify (You're heading over there after this preview, right?)

As a point of information, Williams is the 2021 Kobre Award winner for Lifetime Achievement in Journalism History. This was given to her by the American Journalism Historians Association (AJHA), an organization she was once the president of.

Below is Dr. William's website. There, you will be directed to find out more about A Rare Titanic Family, her other journalistic works, and more.

Please follow the podcast on whatever podcast platform you listen to. The format is a little different this season, but if you have not already seen the accompanying preview to this episode on YouTube, please be sure to do so now.

Bonus Episode: The Sable Knight: An Epic By Joshua Lawrence Marvel

Okay, this is different than the episodes that I usually post. And this technically isn't a podcast episode.

This is an audiobook done in collaboration with author Joshua Lawrence Marvel. I also posted the audiobook in its entirety on YouTube. If you like audiobooks, I am sure that you would enjoy this rather quick read. And if you would want me to talk one-on-one with the author for a podcast episode, please be sure to let me know. Since interviewing Dr. Jay last season, I have been looking for another aspiring writer to be on the show.

This reading is the entire audiobook of The Sable Knight: An Epic. It is done in collaboration with the author, Joshua Lawrence Marvel.

Religion: Thomas Wright

Joining me for the seventh episode of the season is Thomas Wright, who just finished his first year at Highlands College in Birmingham, Alabama. In the religion episode, we delve into Thomas's journey of faith in college, as well as wrestle with the theme of forgiveness.

DISCLAIMER: My guest and I are passionate about what we talk about in this episode, but neither of us claim to be theologians, religious guides, or experts. We do our best to look at the discussed topics objectively but we understand that we, like everyone else on this planet, have some innate biases and don’t know the answers to everything. You can agree with what we say or take it with a grain of salt. You can completely disagree with one or both of our viewpoints or just disagree with certain parts. That’s your decision, but please know that we are not coming from a condescending place but a place of curiosity insight and interest as it relates to a subject we are both passionate about.

If you liked the conversation, I hope you would consider sharing this episode with others and subscribing to me on YouTube. This is the seventh episode of the second season. Only one more episode remains for the second season of the podcast.

Sports: Devan Fink

Joining me for the latest episode of the A Few of My Favorite Things Podcast is Devan Fink, a fellow college student currently writing sports stories for his college newspaper (The Dartmouth) and FanGraphs. Though currently a sophomore at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, he is on a path to prominence that most aspiring journalists would envy.

His Twitter page has over 20,000 followers and has more tweets than Hank Aaron has home runs. He has appeared on MLB Network, NPR, and a host of other shows and conferences over the years. His knowledge on sports, particularly baseball, is second to none. And with his recent venture with Creative Artists Agency this year, this is only the tip of the iceberg for Devan.

If you liked the conversation, I hope you would consider sharing this episode with others and subscribing to me on YouTube. This is the sixth episode of the second season, two more episodes are in store for this season, and they will be just as engaging as this one, if not more so.
