Justin Goodrum

Podcaster/Writer/Blogger/Podcast Producer

United States

My name is Justin Goodrum, and I graduated from the University of New Mexico in 2009 with a major in broadcast journalism. I have an extensive background in podcasting, creating a combat sports podcast in 2009 and a basketball-centered podcast in 2013. I’ve also written for multiple publications, including Ballislife, Denver publication Westword, and Wrestling Inc.

I've had the pleasure of interviewing personalities such as authors, Emmy award-winning director Zak Levitt, NBA TV Host Ben Lyons, and sportscasters like Chris Myers, Jim Lampley, Cari Champion, Mike Greenberg, and Ramona Shelburne. My guest list also includes renowned fighters like Holly Holm, Austin Trout, and Jon Jones, showcasing my experience engaging diverse and accomplished individuals.

I've also reviewed movies and TV shows and interviewed actors, producers, and directors for movies on Netflix, Amazon, and FX.

Currently, I'm the co-host and producer of the Hoopsology Podcast.
