Thank you to Gwilym Mumford of @theguardian.com for this shout-out for Replay Booth. Listen now! pod.link/1462685560/e...
Screenshot from the Guardian that reads: Slate contributor Josh Levin was behind the great One Year podcast, each season of which told surprising stories from the same 12 months in recent-ish history. That show is sadly no more, but Levin has returned with a pilot for a new series, which has the same sense of cheerful inquiry. This time, tapping into his experience as host of the long-running US sport podcast Hang Up and Listen, he’s looking at the intriguing ways sport and history intersect. In this first episode, he tries to get to the bottom of a badge he found in a charity shop with the slogan “extremism in defence of the Mets is no vice” – a nod to both the New York baseball team and a notorious quote by a Republican presidential candidate. Who made it and why?

She really answered the hell out of that question.
Q. You mentioned that you kind of tried to stay away from your superstition eating at the same place over and over again. Where did you eat out while you were here? LEYLAH FERNANDEZ: Oh, my. So the first two rounds I tried to eat healthy. I went to an Italian restaurant, Officina. It was so good. I loved their tagliatelle bolognese and then their charcuterie board too there was delicious. But then afterwards, because I had two days off, I was, like, Okay, I can't be eating Italian for three days in a row now. We're, like, okay. It's fine, let's go to a Mexican restaurant. Luckily one of the Canadian team members that was here with Vickie told me about this great restaurant called Mi Vida. We went there before I think Jess's match. It was very good. Ate some great steak. The guacamole was amazing. But then after Taylor's match, the physio told me I need to eat a lot of salt. I asked her, Okay, so what should I eat? She suggested anything that has fries is very good. So I told my dad, Okay, we've got two options for tonight. Either we' going to Mi Vida again to eat the chips and guac and put on some salt and all the steak, or we're going to Shake Shack, which is right beside. We got back to the hotel, and if I remember correctly, it was about 8:00 p.m., 8:30. We thought, okay it's too late to go to Mi Vida. The food's going to arrive a little bit late. We went to Shake Shack. We got burgers, hot dog, cheese fries, everything that an athlete should not eat before a match, but it did the trick. It gave me the right nutrients to recover from the cramps and get ready for the next round. After my semifinals yesterday, my coach and I, we were messaging, and I was, like, Okay, what do you want to eat tonight? We both answered at the same time, Burgers. So we knew we were going to go back to Shake Shack yesterday. That was kind of my diet for the whole week.
