October 28, 2021 60: Who Should Be the Next James Bond?
It's Draft... What's On, Draft and this episode is shaken, not stirred, because we're once again doing Hollywood's job for them by casting the next James Bond. Yes, that's right, we continue our tried and true tradition of bringing you news that was topical when we recorded but old hat by the time the episode is produced and released (now that everyone won't shut up about sand worms and spice!) We each draft 5 potential 007 picks and then play a game of James Bond trivia - for each question about the franchise that we miss the other two get to knock one of our bonds off the list. At the end we each pick a candidate from our remaining actors and you get to tell us whose pick you'd most like to see behind the wheel of the Aston Martin!

October 13, 202159: What Are the Best Songs With a Person's Name in the Title?
Heyyyy Jude (maybe we have a listener named Jude) and other listeners! This week we're trying to put together the best album we can for you to listen to, but we're only looking for songs that have a person's name in the title. Think My Sharona or Annie's Song. We added a little more difficulty to ourselves by blocking picks both by artist and by letter - so if somebody drafted My Sharona, nobody else could take any other song where the name in the title starts with an S. What did we come up with under these limitations? Listen in and let us know which album you'd most like to listen to!

October 08, 2021 58: What's the Next Video Game Movie Adaptation?
Hello listeners! With the news dropping recently that there is going to be a new Super Mario movie with the obviously very Italian Chris Pratt as Mario we started thinking about what other video games could be put to film. The history of video game adaptations is full of failures and some mediocre to fun films, so it's not an easy task. Who did we think was up to the challenge and what video games will they be adapting? Listen in and let us know what you think about our picks and what other games or directors we should have considered!

October 01, 202157: Why Are the Best Stand-Up Comedians?
Hello listeners; here at What's On Draft we were fans of Norm Macdonald's work and were, of course, surprised and saddened to learn of his death (we didn't even know he was sick!) Since we were already thinking about Norm it got us onto a broader discussion of stand-up comedy so we decided to take it to the podcast. This week we're each drafting five of our favorite stand-up comedians (dead or alive) to fill a show. Which line-up would you most want to catch at the comedy club? Listen in and let us know, and if you have any favorite Norm bits we didn't mention at the top of the show we'd love to hear them too.

September 23, 202156: Who Should Be Cast in the Next Season of True Detective?
Hello listeners! We're here to help you solve the case of where we were last week - we were busy! With that detective work done, we bring you a duo-pod where Cameron and Michael design their own continuation of the True Detective anthology series. Each one drafts a setting, a crime, a villain and, of course, the two lead detectives. Who will craft the most interesting new season of television? Will anyone have an idea that could turn out more disappointing than season 2? Help us solve the case by listening in and then voting with the links below!
