Jemele Hill: Detroit, Defiance, and the Uphill Climb
This week on Unglossy, Jemele Hill pulls up with the fellas for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation that goes everywhere — and we mean everywhere. From answering phones at the Detroit Free Press in high school to landing at ESPN as a writer who accidentally became one of the most recognizable faces in sports television, Jemele walks us through the come-up, the mentors, and the moment she realized TV money hits different.
Then it gets real: the rise of His & Hers with Michael Smith, the SC6 era, and what really happened when the network started getting called "too woke." The Trump tweet, the fallout, the pivot — and how she rebuilt with The Atlantic, a Spotify podcast deal, narrating LeBron's Shut Up and Dribble, and her bestselling memoir Uphill.
Plus — Yeezys, mink coats, Trill Burgers, and a children's book on the way. Sharp, honest, and a whole lot of fun — just like Jemele.
