#560 One Ball and Boe - Richard is sad to note the death of a man who has fuelled and spoiled his erotic fantasies. His guest John Kearns, has finally been allowed into the Leicester Square Theatre on the fifth or sixth time on the pod - it's the thoughtful and measured John Kearns.

It's a glorious fusion of nostalgia, tinsel and song this week in a show recorded with an audience at the BBC Radio Theatre. Clive talks to punk princess Toyah Willcox about her Xmas Party tour with King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp and a blistering year that's seen her perform at Glastonbury, take part in Strictly Come Dancing and join the cast of Now That's What I Call a Musical. To celebrate 30 years since boyband East 17 scaled the charts with Stay Another Day - songwriter Tony Mortimer performs the song with Edele Lynch of B*Witched for a boy and girl band treat. Find out the true origin of the song and why it almost wasn't released. There's bromance, baubles and banter with a pair of Edinburgh Comedy Award winners - Adam Riches and John Kearns - who this year are collaborating on a "once in a lifetime, yuletide extravaganza" show at the Soho Theatre.And the columnist, broadcaster and newly-announced MasterChef host Grace Dent - who knows a thing or two about comfort eating having written a book about it - on creating Christmas food memories, including loading up on yellow-stickered trophies at the supermarket late on Christmas Eve. Plus in this 40th anniversary year since the release of Wham's Last Christmas we have a gorgeous soulful version from singer and former UK Jazz Act Of The Year - Georgia Cecile. Presented by Clive Anderson Produced by Olive Clancy

JOHN MEAGHER was recently featured in ROLLING STONE who said he was "Ireland's next great comedian." The Irish Times said “it's like watching a young Irish Billy Connolly” he won an award at last year's Edinburgh Festival and he's been a finalist at the greatest Best Act competitions including ones at The Hackney Empire, The Leicester Mercury's, the BBC AND The Leicester Square Theatre.  He's also turned his hand to investigative journalism and has an explosive documentary coming out on BBC Radio 4 in April called The Devil's Own which is going to shock the world. I was lucky enough to get an inside scoop and I can't believe what he's uncovered. It's ostensibly about a crazy underground devil-worshipping cult called the White Hoods but what he uncovers is stranger than any fiction you can imagine and if it wasn't going out on the BBC I wouldn't even believe it.

Then, we kick it to Coach Erin Dickerson Davis. Coach E and the NBN crew discuss the transition into the new job, her enthusiasm for her staff, and her returning stars.

John Kearns is out this week, but Brendan is joined by frequent guest and friend of the program Tommy Glasgow, of the Holy City Hoops podcast and blog focusing on College of Charleston basketball. Brendan and Tommy give their thoughts on the new additions to the CAA and the league's positioning before running through this year's recently released men's preseason poll. We preview each team by providing a bold prediction and focusing on some big questions - who's the best incoming team, what gives with all the roster turnover this season, and should Towson actually be the consensus favorite in the league? Then, we briefly touch on the women's preseason poll, Charleston's rapid rise in the league, and W&M's two preseason All-CAA First Team selections. Lastly, Tommy and Brendan each give their "One Thing" for the week before signing off this episode of The NBN Pod.Have a question for for us on the pod?

John Kearns may not be here this week, but we eventually replace him with an All-CAA talent, so that's a win in our book. First though, Brendan and Cameron catch up before pivoting to discuss the Tribe men's recruiting outlook this summer (3:19). We go through the offers extended by the team thus far and give our takes on W&M's biggest needs in the 2022 recruiting class. After that, we briefly answer listener questions (14:35) -- except for transfer-adjacent ones, which will be their own episode. Then, Tribe star Sydney Wagner joins the program for an interview about her increased role, the team's decision to opt out, and her different nicknames (22:42). We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did!Have a question for for us on the pod? Fire it over to brendan@nobidnation.com or tweet at us @NoBidNation. Visit the blog at nobidnation.com.

John Kearns is out this week, so Cameron and Brendan jump right into talking Tribe hoops. Off the bat, we break down the good and the bad from the W&M women's split at Charleston (0:00) before moving to the men's loss at home against Drexel (12:54). After our takes on where the Tribe stands, we dive into the conference at large, first the absolute mess that is the men's CAA standings (27:46) and then the more defined tiers on the women's side (32:31) and, in both cases, what that means for the College. Following that, we quickly give our keys to the weekend for the Tribe (36:00) before finishing up with Shout-Outs and Step-Ups (40:53).Note: this episode was recorded before news dropped about the cancellation of the women's games this weekend against Towson.Have a question for for us on the pod?

In which we discover that John has only driven through Harrisonburg once and didn't stop, and that Brendan has a pro-Harrisonburg bias. Before the basketball talk, Cameron, Brendan and John discuss our thoughts on the events at the Capitol last week (0:00) and then the situation around cutting sports at East Carolina University and its parallels to the Tribe 7 (5:51). Without further ado, we jump into the men's win over Delaware Saturday, how concerned we are with the pattern of slow starts, and our take on the postponement of Sunday's game (9:04). Then, we move onto the women's winless weekend at Delaware: the team's issues, just how good the Blue Hens are, and the bright spots in the losses (26:19). After that, we go around the CAA (33:16) -- news about the conference tournaments, a breakdown of last weekend's results, and a look ahead to this weekend. Finally, we bring back our weekly segment, "Shout-outs and Step-ups," to close out the show (53:45).Have a question for for us on the pod?

Covid continues to wreak havoc on the basketball season, but at least we can make it entertaining! Cameron and Brendan welcome the third member of the NBN crew, John Kearns, onto the pod again. We jump right into W&M women's basketball's season-opening losses to ODU and Richmond, analyzing the team's offensive struggles (0:00). We then talk about the men's team returning from quarantine early (11:28) and its hastily rescheduled contest against Virginia, which was cancelled after recording. Speaking of Virginia, we explore W&M's "little brother complex" when it comes to U.Va., in sports but also overall in the student body.  Finally, we explore John's "KYUSAG" model and how it works (35:08) before looking at how the model sees the CAA early in the season (41:50). Hint: Charleston fans might be pleased.Have a question for for us on the pod? Fire it over to brendan@nobidnation.com or tweet at us @NoBidNation. Visit the blog at nobidnation.com.

In which Brendan is joined by John Kearns on the Thornton Scott hype team, to the chagrin of Cameron. John, the third member of the No Bid Nation crew, joins us this week for the full episode. We start out talking about the state of Tribe Athletics in terms of the virus (0:00) before John gives us his thoughts on the cutting of sports at W&M (6:41). Then, we transition to discussing John's series of posts on the blog, The Fischer Effect -- dissecting the differences between Tony Shaver and Dane Fischer (19:31), the jump Thornton Scott and Luke Loewe made last season (24:46), and what the W&M men can look forward to this year (37:45). Finally, since Brendan forgot to put out a call for Q&A, John asks the two regular hosts about dark horses in the CAA this season (49:44) and the best thing Dane has done in his time at the College (53:19).Note: this episode was recorded before news dropped about the ouster of Samantha Huge and the potential covid-19 outbreak within Tribe Athletics. We'll talk about both of those next week.Have a question for Q&A or feedback for our Question of the Week? Fire it over to brendan@nobidnation.com or tweet at us @NoBidNation.
