The total run time of our audio productions this year is nearly 5,000 hours. So, if you started playing The Athletic's podcasts continuously the moment the ball dropped in Times Square, it would take you until July to complete them. That's just one aspect of the depth of our coverage in 2024. Our talented team has published close to 45,000 stories this year. We covered the biggest triumphs in sports, such as the Euros, the Olympics, the Super Bowl and the World Series.

SJI interns thought writing their game stories was going to be a breeze. But Mariners scored four runs in the ninth to tie the game against D-Backs. We now have extra baseball. I LOVE IT!!! @SJI_Update https://t.co/wvj0MYIUKu

First day of bootcamp for the SJI Class of 2025, and interns are hard at work covering the Phoenix Mercury-Seattle Storm game. Now will their game stories sing? @SJI_Update @APSE_sportmedia https://t.co/Tl2YdSGE34

Congrats Wynton! SJI family is proud of you. Now go knock it out of the park.
