The Flip Side

Brian and Galen return are back for more talk of sports, media and more during the Covid-19 pandemic. Topics this week include:

- Celebrating Cindo de Mayo and their favorite Mexican food.

- The absence of sports (and fans) the past two months.

- Is opening with all sorts of restrictions really worth it?

- Game and streaming recommendations.

Brian and Galen are back for more talk on the important issues of our day:

* What are the best store-bought cookies?

* What single cut of meat would you live on for all of quarantine?

* Why is media coverage of this crisis so ... odd?

After no episodes in three momnths, the boys are back with their second episode in a week. Quarantine, man. Brian and Galen take some time to discuss free agency in the NFL. Tom Brady's in Tampa Bay? The Bills are good? The Colts have Philip Rivers? Crazy times, man. Crazy times.

Brian and Galen are back to talk about media and life during the Covid-19 outbreak. The pandemic seems to be Twitter's time to shine. Brian takes the pessimistic side, while Galen takes the optimistic angle. I know, right?

They also lament the experiences of their seniors and talk about their cooking goals for the next few weeks/months. It's all about intentionality.

Happy Thanksgiving week, Flip Side Nation!

Topics this week include:

- The war on turkey. Do people really hate turkey or do they like saying that they hate turkey.

- How Cornish Game Hens are like quicksand

- The ESPN digital metrics, and what it means for sports media.

- How to support journalism without subscribing to newspapers.

It’s winter in both Indiana and New York. Brian’s got six inches of snow, Galen’s got temperatures under 20 degrees. Which means it’s prime podcasting season.

Topics include a Pew study about how Americans use and view news on social media; the controversy around Northwestern’s student newspaper; the start of the ACC network; the disaster of autocorrect. Also, just what the heck is late-stage capitalism?

The boys are back, with their ninth different recording platform. Galen needs to distract himself from Tuedsay’s Indiana-Northwestern game, and he talks about his experience with Chronic Hooser at Bloomington’s newest restaurant, Joella’s.

Brian and Galen talk about the two Fyre Festival documentaries and influencer culture. They also discuss the AFC and NFC Championship games and the various storylines from those games. Why aren’t referees in all sports required to speak to the media after games?

Who has the better Fyre Festival: Netflix or Hulu?
