Episode Notes

S1 E18: The Rooster (rooster.info) has sent waves through the Ohio Statehouse and Columbus City Hall with his aggressive reporting, in-your-face tactics and his reverence for gossip. And his scoops. The Rooster is D.J. Byrnes, and he joins Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com to talk about his background, the evolving new media landscape, and the ugly bit of backroom dealing that helped bring an NWSL franchise to Columbus. #crew96 #cbj
