The Writer's Podcast

Ep #6 | Erika Fernandez

We came, we saw, and we conquered! The season finale of TWP is here, and we couldn't have had a better guest than my friend Erika! Over the past seven and a half years, Erika and I became close as peers in sports media, and I watched her become a leading voice/familiar face across the New York City Sports scene. Listen as Erika explains her greatest lessons learned while working on a bigger platform, why there should be diversity in the press boxes at sporting events, and much more!

Ep #3 | Daniel Bien-Aime

In today's edition of TWP, Arden was joined by Daniel Bien-Aime. These two initially met on Twitter but became friends as they shared a strong bond for sports writing and working in media.

Listen as the Florida native explains why he began writing in the first place, the importance of great mentors, and why athletes "can't just stick to sports." We hope you enjoy this episode!

Ep #2 | Isaiah Smalls

In the second episode of TWP, Arden spoke with Isaiah Smalls! The two writers became friends last year as they covered a Columbia Lions men's basketball game together. Isaiah goes into detail about being a new writer at the legendary Miami Herald, learning under Bill Rhoden while at Morehouse College, and the importance of responsibly covering the black community at a time like this.
