The show opens with a bang! Britton Bertran's
car is hit and we are the witnesses.
And as you listen to this week's intro designed specifically to
irritate Duncan, pause a moment and say to yourself..."Seriously?
Episode 104?" Richard's parents have called us both to
mention how happy they are. Here we are poised on the cusp of
another Bad at Sports season and this week Duncan is joined by
friends of the show Lane Relyea and Claire Pentecost to
interview/interrogate French American Theorist and Art Critic Brian
Holmes.
As we roll over the two year mark we once again are faced with
questions about the Bad at Sports Project. We know what we
think but once again we want to hear from you. Please email
your thoughts about the show and your hopes for it's future to
badatsports@gmail.com please use the header "Hope Chest."
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help us get
better.
