Today we talk with Jonathan Edwards, a reporter for the Davis Enterprise a dozen years ago who joined the Washington Post last July after working for news outlets in Nebraska and Virginia. We talk about differences in reporting, objectivity, establishing credibility when audiences are polarized, and what he learned in Davis all those years ago.
He also has a good story about the experience of sharing his name with other people, including the North Carolina senator who ran for vice president in 2004, the current governor of Louisiana, the musician who created the hit song “Sunshine” in 1972, and the influential 18th century American revivalist preacher who wrote Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. The title inspired an English teacher to have a little fun when handing classwork back to Jonathan at Davis High School.

Color commentators are sports broadcasters who provide expert analysis and background information, such as statistics, strategy, anecdotes, and injury reports on teams and athletes. They work alongside play-by-play commentators to provide insight and analysis throughout the broadcast when the main commentator is not describing the action. They are called color commentators because they bring insight, stories, and levity to the broadcast and add color to the picture of the play. Doug Kelly, the color commentator for UC Davis football for more than two and a half decades, tells us about his journey to being the radio voice of Aggie football. We talk to Doug about his career and his advice for aspiring color commentators, as well as his analysis of the Aggies' wild 2021 season.
