It’s more or less summer around here, so we’re largely ignoring the news in favor of the DRAMA and INTRIGUE of youth sport. Surely the Supreme Court will make big news over the next couple of weeks that we’ll have no choice but to talk about, but for now you can enjoy us blathering on about swim meets and corrupt little leagues. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on our Substack, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
