From Hoop Dreams to Empty Wallets | With Sportscaster Eric Rivera
The Junk and Jam Experience
The Junk and Jam Experience: A little experiment in humor and humanity. Because the junk of the world could use more sweet jam…and less hot-ass garbage.
🎙 Joining Christopher is returning guest and sports commentator Eric Rivera, producer of ‪@LifeandWhateverElse‬ and former WABC-TV Sports Department contributor. In this episode, host Christopher dives deep with Eric, a lover of all things hoops, and together they unpack the wild journeys of professional athletes who made millions, spent even more, and somehow ended up back where they started: think Sebastian Telfair, Antoine Walker, Allen Iverson, and more.
Also on topic: from Trump’s new “Patriot Games” for high school athletes, to Dwight Howard debating mandatory military service, to Dennis Rodman reflecting on identity, masculinity, and being out and proud in the NBA, this episode explores the strange, hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking intersections of sports, money, and culture.
Recorded at ‪@PTKnitwear‬ Manhattan’s cozy bookstore and podcast cafe, this episode blends commentary, laughter, and real talk about life after the spotlight. Grab something sweet to snack on, because lots of junk is about to get unpacked.
Hosted by storyteller and broadcaster Christopher Albert De La Roa, this episode blends cultural commentary, politics, sports, and humor.
