Podcast Rant Protocol with Patrick Redford

The Distraction: A Defector Podcast

Defector’s own Patrick Redford joins Drew and Roth to put on Peacock and fully emerse themselves in the Olympic games. The Opening Ceremonies were A Lot of Drama, but is reenacting Marie Antoniette’s beheading with metal music more dramatic than Steve Kerr benching Jayson Tatum? Speaking of TV, drama, and NBA, Drew, Roth, and Patrick decide who to root for in the entire NBA TV rights situation and whether or not it’s weird to root for a TV network. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

About The Show

The Distraction is Defector's flagship podcast about sports (and movies, and art, and sandwiches, and certain coastal states) from longtime writers Drew Magary and David Roth. Every week, Drew and Roth tackle subjects, both serious and impossibly stupid, with a parade of guests from around the world of sports and media joining in the fun! Roth and Drew also field Funbag questions from Defector readers, answer listener voicemails, and get upset about the number of people who use speakerphone while in a public bathroom stall. This is a show where everything matters, because everyone could use a Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
