Pick a Side

Mainstream sports media is tiring, isn’t it? Hot takes, bland statements, and generalizations have all worked in combination to ruin the viewing experience. Here is where Pick a Side comes in. We are a podcast dedicated to creating genuine conversations about sports. There will be bias included (we all have them), but they will always be backed up by facts. Come join us on our journey to creating the best sports podcast possible. Hosted by Joel Moran, River Brown, Andrew Velez, and Joel Dehls.

This podcast may use tracking and attribution and dynamic content insertion

Stats: Statistics are produced by Spotify for Podcasters to help Pick a Side to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Spotify for Podcasters is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Tracking and attribution: Nielsen or its partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - it may spot a device that downloaded an episode of Pick a Side later visited the website of an advertiser; or it may track that a device that listened to Pick a Side also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.

Dynamic content insertion: Spotify for Podcasters may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Pick a Side may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

Pick a Side is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
