Let’s Go To The Phones: Les Bowen and the State of Philadelphia Sports Journalism
By Russ Joy
Published:
Our old friend Les Bowen stops by the latest episode of Let’s Go To The Phones for another great interview. Bowen talks about his decision to retire as Eagles beat writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer, the changes in the paper’s newsroom over the years, and how sports journalism has changed in the era of social media. Plus, he delves into why most of training camp is worthless for reporters and why charting passes in practice is “absolute bullshit.” The Boys finish the episode with some less than nice things to say about the Phillies and give an update on their biggest Australian fan.
