Widely recognized as one of Mississippi’s leading young writers, Steven Godfrey brings his unique perspective on sports and society to The Godfrey Show.

Godfrey is formerly the editor of The Hub, the weekend edition of the Gannett-owned Hattiesburg American. Before joining the American in January 2006, Mr. Godfrey was the sports editor The New Albany Gazette and helped spearhead a news magazine about Ole Miss Sports, The Rebel Yell. Prior to that, Mr. Godfrey gained a cult following for his hysterical and controversial work at The Daily Mississippian from 1999 to 2005, where he focused primarily on sports, entertainment and campus culture.

He received a degree in Journalism with a minor in English with a final GPA of 2.0 from The University of Mississippi in 2005, after six total years of study that included two academic dismissals and five seperate periods of probation.

Mr. Godfrey has interned for Maxim Magazine, a feat he uses to endear himself to frat boys and to also bed young women.

He graduated from Northwest Rankin Attendance Center in 1999 after moving to Flowood, Mississippi in 1996. Mr Godfrey was born March 29, 1981 in Macon, Georgia, and has lived in West Virginia, the District of Columbia and Virginia. His parents still reside in Flowood, and his sister is a graduate student at Washington University in St. Louis. The family has a dog named Amos.

In June of 2006 Godfrey took a public relations position for a firm in Nashville, Tennessee, where he currently resides.
