MustBe2Sides: Athletes vs. Media

The Introduction

In the first episode of the 'Must Be 2 Sides' podcast, Mycole Pruitt and Ahmad Hicks introduce themselves to their listeners. Having known each other for nearly two decades, they recollect on shared memories while delving into why they launched this podcast. Pruitt, a 10-year NFL veteran, shares his thoughts on the society of media vs. athletes while Hicks, a journalist in local sports television for the past nine years, shares his view point. That's where the name 'Must Be 2 Sides' comes into play. The two discussed why there's always two sides to a story, including the mix up between Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James. In one segment, Pruitt and Hicks try to breakdown why some professional athletes despise media even when they're just doing their job. They also discuss the difference in personalities from NFL and NBA players and why some speak more freely than others.
