"The year is progressing along in its ramp-down process, according to the calendar. Fittingly, and justifiably, given the gulf between the iron-fisted thrall of winter and the honey-laden proceedings of the rest of the year, this is a process whose inputs and outputs must thus take place over a long period. So too is there a need for appraisal from all parties who, whether they be podcast co-host, Defector editor, Defector staff writer, or Defector staff writer and also podcast co-host, will appraise the proceedings, mentioned precedingly."
"In other words, it's Shamsy time. The usual subcommittee for journalistic malfeasance was joined by Nothing But Respect's Harry Krinsky for what turned out to be a very long examination of roughly 30 longlisted nominees for the prestigious anti-award. Last year's winner, Shams Charania himself, came forth with another strong year, as did many familiar favorites."

The Nothing But Respect crew, joined by Harry Krinsky, convened the usual subcommittee for journalistic malfeasance to examine roughly 30 longlisted nominees for the Shamsy anti-award. Last year's winner, Shams Charania, delivered another notable year among several familiar favorites. The event is available as a YouTube video and as audio on the NBR feed and Apple Podcasts.
