Turn Out the Lights…
It's true - the party is over for Bandwagon after 56 episodes. But don't be sad it's over - be happy it happened!
Idle suggestion-turned-podcast stands at the intersection of sports and culture and wonders just what the heck is going on. It's produced every two weeks by WILL's Brian Moline, Lisa Bralts, and John Steinbacher. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at this handle: @bndwgnpdcst (or just go here)
Women Dig the Long Ball
And a well-executed double play, and great pitching, and hitting streaks, and... you get the picture. Women love baseball, so why aren't more of them in the game? Team Bandwagon discusses... with an actual woman in the game. Also: At what point does an athlete (or any famous person) get to bite the social media hand that's feeding them? These topics - and much more - on Bandwagon's final podcast of the season.
Draft Day
In this week's episode, we dive into everything about the draft in all the major pro sports. As we discuss the recent NFL Draft and evaluate the picks and more. We also talk about the Illinois Marathon that wrapped up this weekend and the One and Done rule in college basketball.
Weather or Not
Team Bandwagon is back to full strength as we talk about the Boston Marathon as it has Illinois ties, Illini sports and its transfers, and the rise and success of the new franchise in the NHL. Also, we bring in avid NBA fan and producer of the show 21st, Alan Montecillo, as he talks about the NBA Playoffs.
Numbers Never Lie
The NCAA tournaments have wrapped up, as Team Bandwagon talks about the outcome of both the men's and women's games, Illini Sports, baseball, and more.

Win or Go Home
The team is Lisa-less this week, but the rest the crew picks up the slack as we discuss Illini sports, Spring Training, and more. Also, March Madness is this week so we get the inside scope from ESPN Insider and Illini graduate John Gasaway as we talk about brackets and Illini basketball.
Hair of the Olympic Dog
The Bandwagon crew deals with its Winter Olympics hangover by, well, talking about the Winter Olympics. Also: the 411 on what it's really like to drive a Zamboni, bad renditions of the national anthem, and much more, of course.
Winter Fun and Winter Games
Good news, everyone - it's Olympic season!! We recap the early results and the main story lines involving the Games. Also, we have a special guest: Illini Wrestler Isaiah Martinez comes in to discuss his career and MORE. So sit back, relax, and come jump on the Bandwagon.
Back in the T-League
It's a Travis Tate version of the Bandwagon, which means at least 25% more awesomeness - plus tennis, Winter Olympics, the NBA and a lot more!
