Obama will apparently be on the WTF Podcast with Marc Maron.
It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

That's a very good book, amazing thing is he went upriver the whole way.A_B wrote:Simon Winchester's River at the Center of the World gives a good back of the napkin Chinese history. It's a book though, not a podcast. And obviously won't be as in depth as these are I am sure.
Undaunted Courage sort of does, though it's only from St. Louis up.degenerasian wrote:That's a very good book, amazing thing is he went upriver the whole way.A_B wrote:Simon Winchester's River at the Center of the World gives a good back of the napkin Chinese history.

Has someone ever done that with the Mississippi? Travel it's entire length and recount what historical events happened at which locations (ie, when a particular area was discovered)?

Every time Obama appears on a show like "The View" or Leno or Zach Galifinakis' thing or a podcast, so many people get excited. It's cute in a way, part of his charm offensive that clearly works on some. There's always surprise that he's a man who can deliver boilerplate while displaying adequate comedic timing.howard wrote:America

Yeah, I already knew about it from Mike but was going to mention it here in case anyone else is interested. He's told me some of the guys he has lined up and it should be awesome. If you have any interest in sports betting, it should be great. And best of all, it's not going to be assumed that you're a sports betting expert, so it's going to be accessible. First show is going to be a discussion (in part) about key numbers in football, which is sports betting 101, but he's got a great angle on it even for those of us who know about it.Sabo wrote:This is mostly for Brian's FYI, but I just read Mike Tenay is launching a podcast on CBS Radio called "Professor Vegas". The podcast will be about sports gambling and will include interviews with bookies, those who make the point spreads and "other personalities from the Las Vegas sports betting scene."
I'll give it a listen. I kind of enjoyed Chad Millman's betting podcast for ESPN as well.brian wrote:One final thing and probably most importantly is he has a "no tout" policy for this.

Not a debate on why Cleveland is +4 instead of +3 for a given week or crap like that.
Alan Boston is the best guest on Millman's podcast. Just so bitter while dispensing college basketball opinions, bashing the NCAA Tournament set-up, and so forth.Pruitt wrote:I'll give it a listen.

Any word on if Tenay's podcast will end up on iTunes?
Cool. I searched the iTunes store right before asking and it wasn't there, but I know the first episode is supposed to drop tomorrow and didn't know if it would be listed in advance.brian wrote:Yep, it'll be available on iTunes right from the jump.DSafetyGuy wrote:Alan Boston is the best guest on Millman's podcast.

iTunes generally won't list it in advance. I forget what upcoming podcast that I was looking for recently when I found that out, but podcasts don't exist to them until they actually exist.DSafetyGuy wrote:Cool.

I know people bet on everything possible...but isn't betting on the NHL a cry for help?brian wrote:One other interesting thing about Mike is that he's probably one of the foremost experts on NHL betting in the country. Not that there's many guys who specialize in it like there is in football, but I doubt there's more than a couple dozen or so guys who are as good at it as him. I always tease him that he should only bet on the NHL, but it's fun to bet on football so who can blame him. So if you're a hockey fan as well, should be lots of good stuff in there in future weeks especially once NHL season kicks off.
Not if you're trying to win money as opposed to betting for fun. I'd bet on flies fucking if there was an edge in it.DaveInSeattle wrote:I know people bet on everything possible...but isn't betting on the NHL a cry for help?brian wrote:One other interesting thing about Mike is that he's probably one of the foremost experts on NHL betting in the country.

I listened to one of Jonah Keri's shows recently...because of his "My Team Is a Joke" (where comedians come on and talk about their teams...this one was with Geoff Tate), and listening to the other guest (some beat writer from somewhere) I realized I had no idea who 90% of the players they were talking about were.DSafetyGuy wrote:Zach Lowe yes, but that's it.

The two hosts of “Men in Blazers,” a scrappy soccer-analysis show on the NBC Sports Network, wave handmade signs on the air and broadcast from a room so cramped that guests have to sit behind the duo like children in the back seat of their parents’ car.
But behind all the low-tech trappings, the Men in Blazers are a valuable brand. The TV show and podcast have emerged as a conduit for soccer’s top teams, corporate sponsors and the sport’s growing legion of American fans, much to the exuberance of the show’s England-born, New York-based hosts and creators, Roger Bennett and Michael Davies.
“I’m enjoying their success,” says Richard Scudamore, chief executive of England’s Premier League, the high-profile home to clubs such as Arsenal and Manchester United. Like “Men in Blazers,” Premier League games air on NBC Sports, which recently beat out rival networks to extend broadcast rights to the league for another six years in a deal estimated at close to $1 billion. Though “Men in Blazers” is zealous in its coverage of other bodies, including the U.S. men’s and women’s national teams, the Premier League is the show’s North Star. Mr. Bennett recently compared the league’s season opening to “Christmas Day, Rosh Hashana, Churchill’s Day and Secretary’s Day crushed into one.”
