What to Learn From a Yearbook
On this episode of Edge of Sports, Author Michael Messner and friend of the pod Arya Shirazi join the show.

Where sports and politics collide, hosted by Nation magazine Sports Editor Dave Zirin
This week, we talk to Michael Messner, author of the fascinating new book, about what we can learn by looking at sports and yearbooks over the course of a century. It’s called “The High School: Sports, Spirit, and Citizens, 1903-2024.” Also, I’m talking to the savant, Arya Shirazi, about the days when March was truly mad.
