As the podcast nears its one year anniversary, I decided it was a great time to record the LONGEST podcast in this young podcast's history by bring on someone who has lived INSIDE the Philly sports universe for his entire life: my longtime friend and teacher, Mr. Bob Falkenstein. We discussed Philly sports history including The Vet, The Spectrum, our worst and best Philly sports memories and so much more. Bob has a rich history I can only pray to duplicate, and it's definitely worth a return visit in the future...

Bob is a passionate podcaster himself, having found his niche with the Brave and Strong and True podcast, available wherever you find your podcasts. If you have any feedback for me, send it to [email protected]. Thank you for all your support through these first 50 episodes, and here's to 50 more!

The two teams face off against each other in an early season clash among two teams with a lot of trade history but not necessarily playing history against each other.
