Hot Takes is a sports podcast by Jaxin Osinski, Jackson Koelling, Patrick Lynch, and Andrew Hansen. The four of us started in the back of our English class talking about the hottest topics in sports every day and after a while, we thought we should share our thoughts and opinions with everyone. In our podcast, we will be discussing and debating major topics in sports going on around the time of the podcast. This first episode we discuss the tragic & unexpected death of Kobe Bryant, along with the upcoming Super Bowl. Hope everyone enjoys, and stay tuned for episode 2.
