  • 2.02: Kevin Frazier | TV Host & Entrepreneur
    Feb 25 2026

    It feels like Kevin Frazier has done it all — ESPN SportsCenter, Entertainment Tonight host, and much, much more. He's easily one of the smoothest broadcasters around - and one of the most versatile. But behind the Emmy-winner's polished delivery is a guy who grew up charting offenses on his dad's basketball bench, raced out of TV shoots to catch his son's playoff games, and still credits the grind for helping him work his way up a very tall TV ladder.

    In our conversation, Kevin talks about what separates broadcasters and storytellers, how grateful he is for the many pinch-me moments in his career, and why family is the foundation of it all.

  • 2.01: Rep. Jasmine Crockett | U.S. Congresswoman
    Feb 23 2026

    Rep. Jasmine Crockett isn't one to back down from a fight.

    She called out a witness in a congressional hearing for not understanding how witnesses work. She's running for U.S. Senate in a state where no Democrat has won statewide since the 1990s. And she wakes up some mornings and asks herself, "Girl, what were you thinking?"

    That's Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett - Texas representative, civil rights attorney, and one of the most unfiltered voices in American politics right now. In this conversation, we skip the policy talking points and go deeper: how a math-and-science kid from Dallas ended up in Congress, what her preacher-teacher dad and federal government mom built in her, why she describes running for office as a necessary evil — emphasis on both words — and what she actually believes it'll take to flip a Senate seat in Texas. Win or lose, one thing came through clearly in this conversation: Jasmine Crockett is on the move.

  • 2.00: Re-Introduction
    Feb 23 2026

    It's a new season of Dream Job, though it's been a while. If you listened to Season 1, welcome back. If you're new here, great timing. Dream Job started as a podcast about fascinating people and the careers they built - the kind of conversations that make you rethink what's possible. Season 2 expands that idea. Same foundation: real people, real stories. But now we're going deeper - bringing in newsmakers, journalists, advocates, and people with unique insight into the moments shaping our world right now. Hosted by veteran journalist Marc Istook - 30 years in the business, with credits at CNN, the BBC, NFL Network, ABC, and more, and 7 regional Emmy Awards to his credit. Dream Job Season 2 is independent journalism meets human storytelling. Here's Episode 00: a reintroduction, a reset, and an invitation. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
