  • Talking the NBA’s D-League, Rivalries in… Golf?, and Futbol (US National Teams version)
    Brian and Lisa (John's sick and sounds terrible) welcome Travis Tate to the studio to offer up his thoughts on the NBA's D-League for "Better Tate than Never" segment. Lisa also talks about the golf rivalries of her childhood (who knew?), everyone riffs on their favorite social media moment of the week, and soccer is discussed, because soccer is ALWAYS discussed. Somebody somewhere is always playing, so we gotta talk about it.

    Brian, Lisa and John dip in to a wide variety of topics in this episode, including college basketball transfers, the Lie-Chester Foxes (thanks, Coach Ted Lasso!), the Cubs' impostor syndrome, and of course the most interesting sports/culture-related social media content they could find.

  • Lucky Thirteenth Episode of Bandwagon is Right Here
    In this episode, Brian, John, and Lisa invite Travis Tate over for another installment of "Better Tate Than Never". They also discuss alleged mistreatment of players by college basketball coaches, including women's basketball legend/Loyola Chicago head coach Cheryl Swoopes. The mood lightens up a bit as they remember another legend: PRINCE. He was a decent hooper and a ping-pong shark. You probably didn't know at least one of those details.

They dive right in with an interview with University of Illinois economist Fred Giertz about jocks and money management, discuss the prevalence of knee injuries this spring (though not with Dr. Giertz), bring back bitter feels via the Pistons/Bulls basketball rivalry of the 90s, and muuuuuch more.
    These jokers are tweeting, and they're doing so using the handle @bndwgnpdcst.
