Awful Announcing
Ringer founder and CEO Bill Simmons said "Obviously this is an important podcast for me because it’s all my teams in the city I care about. I really wanted to find the right person."
"I will still very much be in the NFL media space, tweeting, podcasting, etc."
"The 40 raw minutes were better than the 12 edited minutes. So stuff like that made me think, “What is the upside at this point of a TV interview show versus a podcast?"
"Do you even like sports?"
'The Masked Man Show' will be rebranded as 'The Ringer Wrestling Show.'
Recognized by management in 2019, the Ringer Union has ratified a CBA.
"The mid-apology play-by-play, ESPN’s Pablo Torre says, 'was like listening to the band play on as the Titanic was sinking. Except the band was also somehow the iceberg.'"
Bill Simmons unfollowing employees supporting the Ringer Union was also scrutinized.

MacMullan will host a narrative NBA podcast, while appearing on several of The Ringer's audio programs.
Bill Simmons got his asking price -- and more.
A sale price was not announced, though Spotify is purchasing The Ringer's entire operation.
The asking price resembles what Spotify paid for Gimlet Media last year.
