90SecondReCap provides a quick sports--and sometimes cultural--history lesson, based on each day's cap.
Learn something new, in less than 90…
seconds!
If you're a baseball fan, you're gonna want to tune in, particularly if you love history, as well as random trivia, including some tidbits that have been discovered for the very first time.
It's not all baseball, all the time, as we've already covered baseball, football, basketball, soccer, tennis, yukigassen, and probably a few more.
Plus, from a cultural standpoint, we've looked at the birth of hip-hop, house music, and a number of other enduring styles.
The first 300 episodes were all 90 seconds or less.
Starting with episode 301, we'll shoot for three or so 90 second episodes per week, along with a longer-form episode.
Please bear with us as we get the entire back catalog posted...hopefully they'll all be loaded by Thanksgiving!
And, please subscribe...you'll gain a little knowledge with each listen, and it won't take very long!
