Sports got us together in the first place, but in this podcast, sports are the backdrop for way bigger conversations!

This podcast is presented and produced by the SportsE Media Podcast Network. Part of KazSource, Inc and QuietLoud Studios.

SportsE Media is a digital media sports brand and a production company focused on podcasts and blogs.

Just like this podcast is conversations that are way bigger than sports.

The Sports Backdrop show features topics and difference-makers in and around the world of sports -- including sports business leaders, athletes, managers, coaches, trainers, mental health professionals, those impacting the sports market, entrepreneurs, and amazing creatives.

Sports brought us together in the first place and sports serve as a backdrop for so much.

This podcast and the entire SE platform constantly remind us that sports serve as a backdrop for so much including how sports bring people together -- that is why we love sports enough to talk and write about them all the time.
