About this listen

Jonathan Toye failed at his dream of becoming a great sportswriter and got a real job instead. Fortunately, anyone in America can start a podcast, so he can still get his takes off—while keeping his day job.

Jackson has been told he has a great radio voice and knows a ton about golf, plus a little less about many other sports.

Together with their extremely overqualified producer, sports casual, and friend, Dr. Jared Smith, they bring you Not-So Ball Knowers, a weekly podcast where Jackson delivers expert golf analysis and Jonathan pretends to be an expert on college football and basketball. They also attempt to cover major sports news across MLB, NFL, NCAA, and everything inbetween. Expect wild takes, interesting interviews, and general shenanigans from two sports-loving amateurs.

Occasionally, they interview guests who actually know what they’re talking about, which is another good reason to listen.
