Bandwagon hits the ground... skating! The first episode of 2018 is a chatty affair, including an interview with speed skater/Olympic medalist/Champaign Centennial alum Katherine Reutter-Adamek.

This episode is almost as jam-packed as the Illini Legends, Lists and Lore book we discuss with author Mike Pearson. Plus, we touch on juiced baseballs, concussions, whistle blowing and football controversies.  

Our intrepid Bandwagoneers do their best (with mixed results) to stick to sports throughout this week's episode, which includes a chat with brand new University of Illinois head volleyball coach Chris Tamas. 

An interview with a journalist from the Daily Illini about an epic longform piece he wrote regarding concussions in female athletes; #Fedal and more at the Australian Open; why the Williams sisters are such an intriguing sports rivalry (hint: sisters); defining "over". BANDWAGON AT FULL STRENGTH, Y'ALL.
