The JBSE is back, and there's much sport to discuss. There's one topic in particular, however, that demands and deserves an episode all of its own. That is the life of Shane Warne, mythic Australian cricketer, who sadly passed away last weekend, at just 52 years of age. Jake shares his thoughts about the career of a man who was the match-winner on a team full of match-winners, a wizard of his craft, one of the true sporting artists.

Jake is privileged to be joined, all the way from Dublin, by former hurler, and current hurling (and history!) enthusiast, Mark Hogan! The conversation covers many topics, from how hurling captured Mark's passion as a youngster, the possibility for expression within the sport, sliotars and zombie hurleys, the ancient mythological history of the game, the significance of Gaelic games within Irish culture, and so much more! Join us, as we journey into hurling and beyond!

Jake is flying solo on the pod, as he dives into a second volume of the Audio Journal. Lots of thoughts came up during the USFL Draft, about the 96 young humans given footballing hope via the USFL, winding journeys, how opportunities end, the uneasiness of finding myself in the role of a critic, the importance of telling human stories.

Jake is joined by the irrepressible Minnesota Jack! First off there's a little Super Bowl chat, a brief sojourn into the Jurassic World Dominion trailer, and then the meat of the episode, which is all things Minnesota Vikings! The departures of Rick Spielman and Mike Zimmer, the hiring of Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, the presumed hiring of Kevin O'Connell, and the Kirk Cousins conundrum!

Jake is back with another Hurling-focused show, running through the games to come this weekend in the National Hurling League, including what could be a banger of a game between a feisty set of teams in Antrim and Dublin. Then it's onto the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship between 8-time champions Ballyhale Shamrocks of Kilkenny and first-time finalists Ballygunner of Waterford!

Jake is back with a new episode and a new guest, as he welcomes old film-making friend Jared Hargreaves onto the podcast to talk about Jared's journey down the path of Pro Wrestling! We talk about Jared's passion for wrestling from an early age, the mythic wrestlers who inspired him, his training regime at Melbourne City Wrestling Academy, the benefits of physical health and purpose on the mind, his first time in the ring, ambition for the future, and much, much more!

Jake is back, and he's bringing a whole new sport with him! Well, new in the sense that some of you may not have heard of it! That's right, the ancient art of Hurling has been added to the JBSE stable of sports, and Jake has recaps and thoughts on three games from Week 1 of the National Hurling League competition! There's the beginning of the long road to All-Ireland redemption for Cork as they take on Clare, a point to be proved for Wexford under new management against reigning All-Ireland winners Limerick, and plenty still to prove for Dublin against Waterford as the team in sky blue looks to build on a positive 2021!

Jake is back, and has a trio of sporting retirements to ramble on about! First it's Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers, then Tom Brady of the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before concluding with thoughts on the injury-enforced retirement of Tipperary hurling legend Paudie Maher.

Jake is back with a pod recap of the enthralling 2022 Australian Open Final between Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev!

Jake is privileged to be joined once again by A Football World's John Turner, who has churned out another great piece ranking the available head coaching vacancies in the NFL! We talk about the situation Kwesi Adofo-Mensah finds himself stepping into as GM of Minnesota, the alluring cap-space of the Miami Dolphins, how Nathaniel Hackett can turn the Broncos into a contender, and what on earth is going to happen in New Orleans?
