Andrew Reynolds ("Searching for Hobey Baker") ESPN's New 30 for 30 Podcast

Film Festival Radio

GUEST: Executive Producer/author Andrew Reynolds Every hockey fan knows the name Hobey Baker (collegiate hockey’s most prestigious trophy is named after him), but very few know the real story of this all-time great athlete. ESPN 30 for 30’s new podcast, Searching for Hobey Baker, tells the story of America’s first ice hockey star, Hobey Baker, one of the first nine inductees – and the only American – inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Narrated by actor David Duchovny, a Princeton grad like Hobey, the podcast charts Hobey’s glory days as the best collegiate hockey and football player in the nation and his exploits as a WWI fighter pilot. Beyond Hobey’s adventures on the ice and in the air, the podcast examines the hockey legend’s lesser-known struggles as a gay man in the early 20th century.
