Random Offense is an interactive news show confronting the cultural flashpoints that reliably ignite debate across the sports world. This show invites you to dig deeper, challenge assumptions, and join the conversation in a way sports media rarely has.
Ethan Strauss is a former NBA beat writer for ESPN and The Athletic who knows the inner workings of traditional sports media. Now, on 2WAY, he's hosting unfiltered conversations with media moguls, broadcasters, former athletes, and fans. He’s joined by producer Trace Crutchfield, whose background in immersive, offbeat reporting helps guide the show’s tone. Between Ethan and Trace, all bases are covered—especially the ones nobody else dares to touch.
