But he’s created a new outlet for himself that allows him to share his reporting and insight with fans, and it might be something that catches on throughout the sports media industry. As reported by Axios Sports’ Kendall Baker, Stein is partnering up with Locker Room to produce live audio content for users that’s more interactive and immediate.
