(GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA) It was around a year ago that the podcast “Pablo Torre Finds Out” released the first episode of what would become a 17-part series into alleged efforts by the Los Angeles Clippers to circumvent the NBA’s salary cap rules.
Since then, the podcast team has netted a Pulitzer Prize, a National Magazine Award and an Edward R. Murrow Award for its independent investigative reporting on the story.
