  • Tokyo 2020 Paralympics: Day 10

    CORRECTION: In the women's wheelchair basketball competition, we said the US defeated China 41-36, when in fact, China won this game. China will face Netherlands for the gold medal. The US will play Germany for the bronze. We regret this error.

    It's Day 10 of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, which means the team events are starting to wind down. But, the competition's heating up! We've got all the action on the day's events, who was soggy and who stayed dry, and (as always) some thoughts on today's television coverage, which almost makes us miss Mike and Maya.

    Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!

  • Tokyo 2020 Paralympics: Day 9

    The action at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics keeps getting better....or maybe we're just seeing the same races over and over, thanks to the joys of NBC's coverage.

    • Athletics
    • Badminton
    • Boccia
    • Cycling - Road
    • Goalball

    Plus, our mainstay segments:

    • What Officiating/Volunteer Job Would We Do?
    • TKFLASTAN Watch

    Our Kickstarter project ends on Sunday, and we need your help! For the upcoming Winter Olympics and Paralympics in 2022, we'll have an on-the-ground presence. This will allow us to bring you an Olympics audio experience like no other. But getting to Beijing will be difficult, so we've got a Kickstarter campaign running to help get us there.
