Bill Simmons is a prominent sportswriter and podcaster who writes for ESPN and Grantland.com. Today a 30 minute podcast with the President was released.

What struck me the most while listening is that President Obama sounds like an actual person in this interview. Unlike any of the Republican candidates Obama seems like someone who actually can banter about sports. Unlike Mitt Romney's recent fiasco at the NASCAR race, Obama's use of of slang like "D1" (for Division One college sports) does much to offset the arguments put forth by Republicans about Obama being elitist.
Other interesting insights into how the President spends his day and that he even did a bit of coaching of his daughters' basketball team.
Edit 1: Many videos of the interview from the interview can be found here (scroll down a bit): http://www.grantland.com/...
It also makes me laugh that Bill Simmons is so nervous. You can tell from the noticeable (if you're a regular listener) difference in his voice. He's certainly not talking to Dave Jacoby about reality tv.
