Podcast appearances and mentions of Alexander Wolff

Few individuals have impacted the growth of soccer in America more than Grant Wahl. What makes his influence even more incredible is that he was neither a coach nor a player. He wasn't even an executive. Instead, Wahl is the single most prolific writer to cover the game for the most important sports publication -- Sports Illustrated -- at a time when the building blocks of soccer's popularity were being put in place. From the time he joined SI in the late 90s until his tragic passing in 2002, Wahl became a trusted voice for stories surrounding soccer globally and its evolution domestically as well. In a new book, "World Class," editors Alexander Wolff and Mark Mravic curate his best work and provide insight as to how his journalist genius helps advance the craft and the sport of soccer in America. A long time colleague of Wahl's at SI, Wolff joined Founding Futbol to share memories of his friend, discuss how they approached editing the book and so much more. Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.

Grant Wahl seems to touch everybody he came in contact with his undeniable passion, integrity, honesty, and simple ethic of trying to write the truth without agenda or bias. Friends and accomplished journalists Grayle Howlett and Alexander Wolf both spent years writing for Sports Illustrated, Wolff having spent 36 years there covering basketball, the Olympics, soccer's World Cup, the World Series, every Grand Slam tennis event, and the Tour de France.

Take a trip around the world with Alexander Wolff, one of the most lyrical writers of his era. He shares some gems from chronicling basketball's international growth during his 36 years at Sports Illustrated. We're in a car with him, Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra at 3 a.m. We tag along to remote Asia where royalty wasn't keen on man-to-man D. We hear about Jerry Tarkanian making an offer that Alex refused. Go to Tobacco Road and learn the differences between Dean Smith and Mike Krzyzewski. Alex recounts the college version of Michael Jordan, and how MJ helped spread hoops around the planet. We also talk a little football as Alex explains the backstory of his open letter to The U and its blowback from outraged Miami fans.   The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame recognized Wolff with its 2011 Curt Gowdy Media Award for lifetime contributions to the game as a print journalist. Alex joined Sports Illustrated as a researcher in September 1980 after earning a bachelor's degree in history with honors from Princeton, where he had served as a freelance writer for the Trenton Times. Wolff became a writer at SI in 1982, at age 25, and the magazine named him a senior writer in 1985.   Besides basketball, Wolff also covered the Olympics, the World Cup, the World Series, every Grand Slam tennis event, and the Tour de France before leaving Sports Illustrated and SI.com in 2016 as the longest-tenured writer on staff. He reported from China, Cuba, Russia and Iran, and often wrote about issues where and sports and society intersect.   Wolff's work has been anthologized in The Best American Sports Writing, Best Sports Stories, Sports Illustrated's Fifty Years of Great Writing, and The Princeton Anthology of Writing. In 1996, Alex collaborated with Hoop Dreams filmmakers Peter Gilbert and Steve James to make Team of Broken Dreams, which detailed the impact of the Yugoslav crisis on basketball players from the Balkans. The documentary, based on one of Wolff's Sports Illustrated articles and broadcast on NBC, was nominated for an Emmy and won the International Olympic Committee's Olympic Media Award. When he served as president of the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, Wolff helped found the USBWA's Full Court Press journalism scholarship and seminar program. He is the former owner of the now defunct Vermont Frost Heaves, which won American Basketball Association championships in 2007 and 2008.   Wolff is the author or co-author of seven books about basketball: Wolf also edited and introduced a collection of basketball writing for the Library of America in 2018 called “Basketball: Great Writing about America's Game.”   “Endpaper: A Family Story of Books, War, Escape, and Home” is Wolff's latest book, published in 2021. He explores the lives of his grandfather and father, who were both born in Germany and later became American citizens.   Check out Alex's website: https://alexanderwolff.com/   Read articles that Alex wrote for Sports Illustrated: https://alexanderwolff.com/stories-for-sports-illustrated/   Follow him on Twitter: @alexander_wolff Learn more about your ad choices.

A conversation with Alexander Wolff and Armen Keteyian.

Remember ESPN the Magazine?  NEXT athlete, the Body Issue – for me, the Mag was appointment reading.  Maybe I'm a little different, but I grew up addicted to the sports magazine scene. Sports Illustrated, Sport, The Sporting News. Every year my grandmother would get me a subscription to these mags for Christmas, she didn't have to think about it, just renew the subscription each year and I'd be happy as could be.  SI covers adorned my walls. In my mind's eye I can still picture the SI cover with Bernie Kosar in his Browns jersey and mini fro, with the headline “Banking on Bernie”. I see it clearly because it was the cover that grabbed your eye as you walked into my bedroom.  I didn't particularly like the Browns or Bernie, it just so happened to be in your line of sight, and I remember it vividly.  Growing up, these mags were all I read. Cover-to-cover.  My mom tried to get me to read more novels, more classics, but I loved the storytelling that came through on those pages. Frank Deford, Leigh Montville, Alexander Wolff.   ESPN the Magazine raised the bar.  The pictures were better, content was faster paced, the branding, the stats, the data visualizations and the storytelling were just awe inspiring. I worked at a competing sports network and yet read ESPN the Magazine for inspiration.   NEXT athlete, the Body Issue, Athlete X, The Biz, Two Way – it was amazing.   But magazines, well, they died, and it wasn't climate change that killed them, it was audience change. TL;DR became a thing. Everything we needed was on our phones. Information was right here all the time.   September 2019 ESPN published their last magazine.  They said the demise was caused by the “rapid evolution of consumer habits” which means, people were no longer buying paper publications.  Get this in December of 2018, just 9 months before shuttering, The Association of Magazine Media, ranked ESPN The Magazine No. 1 in total audience. It ranked No. 1 among magazines in web and mobile web audiences and was top ranked in video.  And that wasn't enough. It still didn't work.   Remember magazines, those were great.  Today's guest Gary Belsky worked at ESPN the Magazine for almost 14 years, culminating in being Editor in Chief 2007-2011, in fact the Body Issue was one of his brain children. He's written 8 books, is an accomplished speaker and is the Chief Content Officer for Elland Road Partners.    As former guest Joan Lynch told me, Gary Belsky is one of the smartest people I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with. After my conversation with Gary which, you are about to hear, I concur.   Listen to Gary Belsky on the latest Work In Sports podcast... 

What would you do if you knew that your father fought for the Nazis? For years, Alexander Wolff harbored this dark family secret. Wolff, a staff writer for Sports Illustrated for more than three decades, longed to know more about his family's role in Nazi Germany. Was his father, Niko Wolff, involved in the worst Nazi crimes, including the extermination of Jews? How did Niko hide the fact that he was part Jewish? How else was his family involved in the war? In 2017, Wolff left Sports Illustrated and moved with his family from their home in Cornwall, Vt., to Germany, where he spent a year probing his family's secrets. He also wanted to learn more about his grandfather, Kurt Wolff, a young German Jewish publisher who published renowned authors including Franz Kafka and Joseph Roth before fleeing the Nazis and coming to New York, where he founded Pantheon Books, a highly regarded publishing house. Alex Wolff's tumultuous family saga is the subject of his new book, Endpapers: A Family Story of Books, War, Escape, and Home. He is also the author of The Audacity of Hoop: Basketball and the Age of Obama and is the former owner of the semi-pro Vermont basketball team the Frost Heaves.

Growing up in post-war America, Alexander Wolff had a vague sense that his father, Nico, and his grandfather, Kurt, had two very different wartime experiences. But it wasn’t until he was an adult that he began to understand just how divergent his half-Jewish grandfather’s, and his quarter-Jewish father’s, paths had been.

Der erste Biathlon-Weltcup der Saison liegt hinter. Die Wettkämpfe im finnischen Kontiolahti konnten bereits erste Aufschlüsse über die aktuelle Leistungsstärke der Biathleten und Biathletinnen geben. Sebastian Mühlenhof (@Seppmaster56) sprach mit Lisa Gerth (@lisa_gerth) über diese Erkenntnisse. Dabei überraschten bei den Frauen vor allem die starke schwedische Mannschaft. Einige Favoritinnen wie Dorothea Wierer, Tirill Eckhoff und Lisa Vitozzi taten sich hingegen überraschend schwer. Bei den deutschen Frauen wechselten sich Licht und Schatten ab. Bei den Herren stachen hingegen die Norweger um Johannes Thingnes Bö hervor. Bö war dabei jedoch nicht unschlagbar. Richtig gut präsentiere sich auch Erik Lesser, der sein Tief überwunden hat. Er und Arnd Peiffer hielten die deutschen Fahnen hoch, auch wenn sie in der Staffel die schwedische Mannschaft nicht in Schach halten konnten.

Die neue Wintersport-Saison hat bereits begonnen und wir haben wichtige News direkt zu Beginn: Aus dem Wintersport-Podcast Kaltschnäuzig wurde nun der Biathlon-Podcast Talkathlon. In dem neuen Format wird es ausschließlich um den wohl beliebtesten Wintersport gehen. Die Experten sind mit Sebastian Mühlenhof (@Seppmaster56), Dirk Hofmeister (@DirkHofmeister) und Lisa Gerth (@lisa_gerth) die gleichen wie noch in der vergangenen Saison. In der ersten Folge unter neuem Namen besprechen die drei gleich die wichtigsten Fakten zur aktuellen Saison. So wurde wegen der Auswirkungen des Corona-Virus der Terminplan geändert und einige Weltcup-Orte sind daher in diesem Jahr nicht dabei. Stattdessen möchte die IBU kurze Wege der Biathlon-Bubble haben. Davon wollen sich die Favoriten und Favoritinnen aber nicht aus der Ruhe bringen lassen.

Long time Sports Illustrated writer Alexander Wolff joins the podcast to discuss his book (one of my favorites ) Big Game, Small World. In 1998, after the Chicago Bulls had won their sixth title but before Michael Jordan had officially announced his retirement, Alex began a year long trip to see how basketball exists in different places all over the world. From the middle of Bhutan to the middle of Bosnia, from China to Angola, Alex gives the reader insight into how the meaning of the game can be translated, and re-translated by various cultures and peoples. This interview was very special for me because Big Game, Small World has come to be a guidebook for my own artwork. It is a true cultural document that holds weight eighteen years after it's publishing. To read more about Alex, his career accomplishments and his recent book The Audacity of Hoop, please click here.

Gleich zwei fantastische Interviews hat das Radio Brennt! Team am letzten November- bzw. Ersten Dezember-Wochenende 2019 geführt. Kadavar in der Großen Freiheit 36: Kadavar gehören wohl zu den wenigen auch international erfolgreichen Bands härteren Rocks aus Deutschland. Die drei Wahlberliner spielten am 29.11. ein großartiges Konzert in der alteherwürdigen Großen Freiheit und wir hatten die Chance Sänger und Gitarrist Lupus Lindemann ein paar Stunden vor dem Konzert zum Gespräch zu treffen. Dabei ging es um musikalische Vorbilder, Genreschubladen und das Bandkonzept. Kadavar haben auch schon vormittags beim Wacken Open Air und als Opener für die Scorpions gespielt. Wie das war erzählt Lupus Lindemann genauso wie warum die Band für das neue Album „For the Dead Travel Fast“ in Transsilvanien war und weshalb sie Kadavar und nicht Monokel heißen. Für Fans von: Black Sabbath The Flower Kings im Bahnhof Pauli: Am 1. Dezember trafen wir Roine Stolt, Mastermind der Progressive Rock Band The Flower Kings zum Tourauftakt im Bahnhof Pauli in Hamburg. Mit seiner Band ist Roine Stolt schon seit Mitte der 90er unterwegs und hat sich einen Liebhaberstatus unter den Fans dieses Genres erspielt. Der sympathische Schwede ist aber schon seit den 1970er Jahren im Progressive Rock Genre unterwegs. Im Interview sprachen wir über die Geschichte der Flower Kings, das neue Album „Waiting for Miracles“ und die aktuellen Entwicklungen in der Musik Industrie.
