SportsLit (Season 10, Episode 3) - David Jr. Machado (First-Time Author): Zachary Plays Golf
The lead-up to Father’s Day is a fitting time to release our latest episode.
That’s because when David Jr. Machado became a dad for the first time, it drove him to fill a void in the children’s book market, not with any grand illusions of riches, but because he wanted a specific sport to be the theme of what he read to his son.
The result? Zachary Plays Golf.

SportsLit (Season 10, Episode 2) - Rod Black (Veteran Canadian Broadcaster) - Cut to Black: A Legendary Life in Sports (and Maybe a Few Beers)
Range is a great indicator of talent. In Canadian broadcasting, the versatility of Rod Black is hard to touch.
For over forty years, from the early 1980s till present day, he has done it all, from play-by-play for niche sports to mainstream staples, hosting local nightly broadcasts and later, the Olympics….and his talents have served multiple national networks.
Since 2021 when Black and TSN parted ways, you would think his career may have cut to black, but his new book reminds you he’s still anchored in the present.
Yes, there are memories, but more to be made as he’ll continue to broadcast any level of sport, anywhere, and bring you the action with the same degree of passion he’s had for the craft his entire life.

SportsLit (Season 10, Episode 1) - Richard Zokol (PGA Tour Winner) - Zokology, Change Your Perspective Not Your Swing
A hook is not ideal in golf, but it is essential for most sports books.
In the publishing industry’s present chapter, telling your life story needs an extra layer to get sold. That lies perfectly for Canadian golfer Richard Zokol.
A veteran of 412 PGA tournaments over three decades on tour from the early 1980s to 2000s, Zokol shares his application for mental mastery developed over time on the tenuous path of making a living on the links.
