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)
Subtract one Steinbacher, who's under the weather, and add one Tate (Travis), who's "Better Tate Than Never." It's the Sweet Sixteen edition of "The Bandwagon." Come on aboard!
In which the name Neville Chamberlain is dropped by our esteemed guest, Will Leitch. Will drops by to discuss the Cardinals side of the Cubs-Cardinals rivalry. Plus, a lot of social media talk. Come on aboard!
Brian, Lisa, and John are back with another episode of The Bandwagon. They discuss some stories that have grabbed their attention from social media, including Tom Brady's weird nutrition book, a new school for former Illini women's basketball player Chatrice White, and the most common Homecoming opponent for Big Ten schools (hint, they're coached by Lovie Smith). Plus, some discussion of the Leicester City Foxes and Chicago Cubs. Come on aboard!
Another guest! Travis Tate makes the long walk from NCSA over to Campbell Hall to talk Kobe Bryant with us. Plus, we remember the one and only Prince. Come on aboard!
Lovie! Lisa and Brian look at a wild and crazy 48 hours for Illini sports, Maria Sharapova testing positive for a banned substance, and a short-lived but intense boxing rivalry from the 1980's. Come on aboard!
Plenty to discuss for Brian and Lisa this week as they tackle sexual assault allegations against Peyton Manning, a new athletic director for the University of Illinois, and a rivalry between two Eastern European teenagers who were barely five feet tall. Come on aboard!
Lisa and Brian are back with another episode of The Bandwagon! This week they talk about the great Lakers-Celtics rivalry of the 1980s, the first female NFL assistant coach, and the World Ping Pong Championships! And Brian sings a little, but don't let that discourage you from listening.
Brian and Lisa are back for the first edition of The Bandwagon of 2016! Topics include the St. Louis Rams relocating to sunny California, a current NFL player anonymously bashing the league, and the first in a series of discussions about great sports rivalries: Bjorn Borg vs. John McEnroe.
In the last Bandwagon episode of 2015 (tear), Brian and Lisa discuss whether "rock vs. jock" still applies, the baseball "hot stove league," and a few articles that caught their eyes this week.
