Ep 5 | Manie Robinson

This week Jabari talked with author, storyteller, and fellow UofSC SJMC colleague Manie Robinson.  Manie joined UofSC's School of Journalism and Mass Communications in Spring 2020 as a Sports Media Instructor.  Over the previous 14 years, he served as a sports reporter, columnist, and video producer for The Greenville News and the USA Today Network.  Aside from landmark events related to social justice, his work largely examines the collegiate athlete compensation model, player safety issues, and athletic department finances. He also investigated issues of economic disparity, racial disharmony, and gender inequality. Jabari and Manie discuss race in sports, his pathway from journalism into filmmaking, and his first book, "Top of the Hill," which was released in 2018 and recounted the recent resurgence of the Clemson football program. 

Uncommon Naledge is hosted by Dr. Jabari Evans and edited and produced by Connor Bird.
