The Official Waiting For Next Year Podcast

The weekly chat with Dave Sterling (@dimoko on twitter) didn't happen on Thursday night because I was at the Cavaliers game. So, we broke into our big Friday night social calendar and decided to chat it up then.  We talked about the Cavs game. We talked about the Serial Podcast and about big name radio people getting into podcasting. We talked about the Browns against the Buccaneers and we re-did...

I apologize in advance for the technical difficulties. After trying to edit some out and trying to fix others, I chose to give you new content at the expense of a professional sounding broadcast. We strive to be better, but Skype just wasn't cooperating today. We talked about LeBron James and the Cavaliers and the value of the various sports tickets in town. We talked about Browns fans and the vol...

As with every Monday morning, I stepped into my "studio" to jump on the skype line and talk to Andy Baskin and Andre Knott for Dawgs on the Run. Today, we talked about the Browns ugly 23-13 win over the Oakland Raiders. The game was pretty ugly, but it took the Browns over 500 to 4-3 on the season. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Browns were so extremely awful yesterday, but I'm stopping short of calling it a moment that defines them.

I've been a guest of Joe Lull's ( @lullonsports ) on his radio progrum on 92.3 the Fan and for whatever reason I never asked him to come on the podcast.
