Listen "Episode 22: Noah Cohan and We Average Unbeautiful Watchers "
Episode Synopsis
Noah Cohan is a Lecturer of American Culture at Washington University in St. Louis. His book, published earlier this year, entitled We Average Unbeautiful Watchers, is a critical unpacking of sports fandom in relation to larger societal issues. Noah engages this subject as a fan himself and rethinks ways that fans and spectators can have a healthier, more productive relationship with both sports and players.
A couple of the books that Noah mentions on the podcast and references in his book directly that I can also recommend:
The Heritage by Howard Bryant
Hoop Roots by John Edgar Wideman
Best Seat in the House by Spike Lee
If you are a person who cares about sports and their evolvement, We Average Unbeautiful Watchers is an alternative perspective that highlights our social responsibility as spectators. I definitely recommend picking up a copy of the book at the local bookstore of your choice!
