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!

The latest ep has John, Lisa, and Brian firmly ensconced in the season. Which season, you ask? So many possible seasons! Football (which doesn’t come up), soccer (which also doesn’t come up, weirdly), baseball (which does)… but special guest Travis Tate takes us up and down the court, so basketball it is.

Yep, the Bandwagon lineup is taking a breather for much of the summer. But before we go: We muse on quantifying team chemistry with a scientist who's actually studying it, the work of sportswriter/commentator Frank Deford (who recently retired from NPR), and our pal Travis Tate comes in for the episode to talk about the NBA basketball playoffs and lots more. 

[YAWN] Anything happen while we were gone?

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!
