A breaking news bonus episode as Catie and Shane discuss reports Bob Chesney is heading to UCLA and what might be next for JMU ahead of the Sun Belt Conference championship game.

It appears bringing back the show may have been good luck for JMU's basketball teams, but still no love from the College Football Playoff committee for the Dukes. Shane and Catie discuss the committee's transparent moves to make sure the ACC doesn't give up an auto-berth to a second Group of Six team and preview JMU's trip to Coastal Carolina this Saturday.

In this new podcast from DN-R MEDIA, we will discuss a written story in the Daily News-Record, talk about why it was a subject the author wanted to tackle, what went into reporting and writing and how they feel about the end result. First up, DN-R sports reporter Catie Harper discusses an in-depth look at James Madison football star Wayne Knight.

Shane and Catie are back to analyze JMU's quest for the College Football Playoff, what the committee thinks of the Dukes and what to expect when Washington State comes to Bridgeforth Stadium this weekend. Plus a look at the early season hoops results.

The Purple & Bold Podcast is back and now coming to you from DN-R MEDIA, a new podcast channel from the Daily News-Record with more shows on the way.
