When the bar blog is closed…

In case our hot takes are not enough for ya, here’s an ongoing list of podcasts, columns, and general content recommendations.

Because, as we say, you don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.

Fun fact this song is about leaving a bar (duh) but also about LEAVING THE WOMB (see here )

Podcasts (because we will never make one for you)

  • The Lead (from the Athletic)- I realize it’s a lot to tell you to subscribe to a daily podcast, but it’s 15 minutes and gives you JUST enough sports knowledge to impress on the fly (just ask our mom, I got her to listen!)

  • ESPN Daily- if, the lead is a little to low brow for you

  • Men In Blazers- I mean, listen for Rog’s gift of metaphor alone. (Fair warning: when you start listening, about half of this will be gibberish to you) (honestly, MOST Of it is gibberish but it’s BRITISH gibberish so!)

  • Takeline- Crooked’s New sporty pod that’s bringing you the best type of content AND features a former WNBA star! Lowkey, the WBNA is an activist league we have no choice but to stan.

  • Hall of Shame- if, it ever returns, this is the greatest Sports Scandals Podcast in existence. In the meantime, the past season will catch you up on wild happenings in all sports!

  • The Bundesliga Diaries (in case the German league ever decides to get interesting)

  • The Other Bundesliga- my gals talking Austrian Football

  • Serie A Sitdown- DO IT FOR THE MEMES

Columns & Content (because in this house we CITE OUR SOURCES)

  • This weekly soccer column à la NYT featuring Rory Smith.

  • The Ringer, always an EXCELLENT soccer source and also has a lot of NBA/NFL content

  • The Athletic, which we swear is worth subscribing to

Newsletters (because Substack is the new black)

  • Cup of Coffee with Craig Calcaterra: Listen. I don’t like baseball. And you will NEVER find us giving you blog posts on the great american past time, but Craig combines his commentary with reflections on news as a whole and it is GREAT wholesome content. Also he’s Ohio based, so come on down to Cleveland Town everyone!

  • Power Plays! with Lindsay Gibbs: Focuses on WOMEN’S SPORTS NEWS! We love to see it.
