Good Sports is an upbeat, game-filled podcast for people who do - and who also do not - like sports. Each episode has us discussing a specific sport or sports with a special guest or just amongst ourselves. And on Good Sports, anything can be a sport - any.thing. Come for the theme song by Dash PDF and stay for the many, many segments. Hosted by good ole’ fashioned good sports Brian Heveron-Smith and Meaghan Strickland, produced by Frank Wartinger.
Brian Heveron-Smith & Meaghan Strickland
Tim Lamphier is back on Good Sports this week talking WARRIORS again, sort of! We mostly get sidetracked by some incredible SEGMENTS cooked up by Brian and Meaghan but it must be stated for the Good Sports record - the Golden State Warriors were in the NBA finals (and have since won the championship) and we love it! Also on this ep, we do our own lil fantasy basketball draft and a quick check in call with former guest and current Meaghan's dad, Pete Strickland! We are also sorry, sorry and sorry.
Music lovers rejoice, it's the first ever Good Sports Music Day! On this episode, professional comedians Tyler Davis and Jeff Murdoch regale us with tales from their amateur music careers! Plus, Jeff shows off his accent work and Tyler shows off his gadgets! Come to hear some embarrassingly low notes, stay to hear Tyler's ring toss tips!

This episode of Good Sports has us talking Barbershop Quartet-ing with Neyla Pekarek and Matt Davis, two incredibly accomplished and talented quarteters. We also get to hear about Neyla's adventures as a member of the Lumineers (meeting Obama! Bono! Performing at SNL!) and Brian is finally outed as the musical genius he is. If you like singing, there is some of it in this episode! Lastly, as Neyla and Matt urged - please look up Tim Waurick, a Barbershop Legend. You can peep sweetadelines.com and barbershop.org if this episode finds you yearning for quartetting. See you all at the afterglow.
Good Sports gets into climbing with Steph Cook and Paul Maksymowicz, two very funny individuals who also happen to be married! Indoor climbing, outdoor climbing, bouldering, free soloing - we cover a lot of terrain. Listen to find out what beer best pairs with your next climb, to hear a little bit about Steph and Paul's son Felix, and to also get a cavalcade of climbing entertainment recommendations! (Steve Urkel voice) Did I do that??

In this episode, our amazing producer Frank Wartinger comes ON TO THE AIR WAVES to play a sport with us! And in this case, the sport is a RPG or a Role Playing Game. And also in this case, "us" is Brian, Meaghan and Tim Lamphier. The RPG game we play is Supernormal, a one page RPG by Ursidice. You can download the rules to SuperNormal along with tons of other creative game systems, and support their work, at ursidice.com. And more about Frank! When he is not being the Good Sports producer, he is an actual doctor! An audiologist and the founder of Earmark Hearing Conservation. Frank is also an incredible musician and father to two daughters. It's crazy Frank has time for us and in this case "us" is Brian and Meaghan.
This week on Good Sports we expand the Tim Convinces You to Care About the Warriors segment into an entire podcast.

In this episode, not one but two (count 'em, two!) members of Chicago's most sketch group Cigarette Sandwich - the hilarious Bill Stern and the hilarious Karl Bradley - are on to talk Tennis (Bill) and College Football (Karl). We also touch on a few other topics like the Golden State Warriors, Sega, David Foster Wallace and one which I don't really want to mention here. But fortunately we return to that one a lot! And for that, we are very, very sorry. Podcasting (like tennis) is hard. Please go to cigarettesandwich.com and follow @cigsandwich on twitter and instagram!
