This and That Podcasting Podcast turns the sports calendar into a running checklist. It is loose, busy, and built around repetition in the best sense: pick the games, check the records, name the actual best games, add honorable mentions, and circle the upset predictions for next time. The show spends a lot of time around hockey. NHL playoff series, second-chance picks, Stanley Cup matchups, and overtime games give the conversation its sharpest charge. Basketball is just as central when March and April arrive. Bracket reviews, second-chance entries, men’s and women’s bracketology, conference championships, and a national title all feed the sense that the speakers are tracking the emotional ledger as much as the scoreboard. Baseball moves in and out of the frame through MLB fantasy, college baseball rankings, and weekend series picks. Golf gets a turn with the Masters draft. Soccer appears through Wrexham’s promotion chase, including the particular irritation of a draw that is exciting on paper and still disappointing in the table. The show’s style is not polished analyst theater. It is closer to a long postgame conversation that keeps opening new tabs. One speaker lays out the schedule, the other reacts, corrects, agrees, or pushes the pick in another direction. Scores matter. Series state matters. So does the gut feeling that a team has to win tonight or the whole prediction falls apart. The result is brisk, stat-aware sports banter with room for digressions about technical difficulties, playoff formats, odd rest days, fantasy competitions, and why a second-chance bracket is less fun when friends cannot compare entries. It suits listeners who like picks and predictions with personality attached. The show is strongest when the week is overloaded and every game seems to come with a record, a grudge, or a chance to say the earlier call still counts.
Made for: It suits fans who follow several sports at once and enjoy conversational picks, playoff scenarios, bracket talk, and weekly record-keeping. Listeners who like informal sports debate more than polished studio segments will feel at home.
What sets it apart: The show’s identity comes from its running structure: top-five games, actual top-five games, honorable mentions, upset calls, fantasy check-ins, and second-chance picks. It treats the sports week as an ongoing competition between memory, instinct, and receipts.
Talking about this sport and that sport. This team and that team. This player and that player. Sports, teams, players, and gambling.
