Interview With Brooke Maratta (Host of the Write It Down Podcast)

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYThis week Mark takes a different angle and interviews someone he met at the 2023 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement weekend. Brooke Maratta is the host of the Write It Down Podcast. Below is her about information (****Taken from the website*****).ABOUT BROOK MARATTAMy name is Brooke Maratta, and I love talking to anyone and everyone. After graduating college, I found myself in the familiar yet unprecedented unknown. No one really warns you about the space between post-grad life and actually starting a life. I applied for jobs in the TV industry and cried a lot. I felt like a failure. My resumé couldn’t help me, my friends couldn’t console me, and my prayers felt unheard. I knew I someday wanted to host a show interviewing guests, but I didn’t know it would take shape in the form of a podcast in my hometown. You gotta start somewhere…I named my show Write it Down because my mentor always told me to write things down in order to remember what God has done in my life, to reflect on my past self, and to organize my thoughts. I was avidly journaling when I encountered the lowest point in my life. So, why not name my show based on the reality of my circumstance? There is, however, a double entendre. When you listen to WID, you will notice each guest gives the audience one point to write down and remember. (Check out our WID WALL)I hope when you listen to Write it Down you are challenged, inspired, and encouraged. It is often during the most difficult seasons in life where God reveals Himself, His plan, and His provision for you. This podcast is living proof that His silence does not mean He is absent. Sit back, relax, and get your pens ready…YESTERDAY'S SPORTS BACKGROUNDHost Mark Morthier grew up in New Jersey just across the river from New York City during the 1970s, a great time for sports in the area.
