Remember That Game

Nick Corasaniti (The New York Times) joins host Thomas Emerick to traverse from Asbury Park to the Meadowlands — and through time — to revisit Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s 2003 The Rising Tour shows at Giants Stadium. Together, they explore how the Meadowlands and the Stone Pony became home fields for Bruce — and how those venues reflect the broader culture of New Jersey music and sports.

Ray Delahanty (CityNerd) and host Thomas Emerick take the MAX down to Rose Quarter for Dame Time. The transportation and urbanism creator with PacNW roots relives standing in the arena for Damian Lillard's iconic shot to clinch the Portland Trailblazers' series victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, formerly known as the Seattle Supersonics.

Liam Kerr (The Welcome Party) joins host Thomas Emerick for some early-aughts Boston angst — and rebirth. It’s October 2004. The Red Sox are down 0-2 in the ALCS. Game 3 at Fenway turns into a historic beating—and somehow, the start of everything. We talk baseball, politics, and comebacks from the edge.

Dhaaruni Sreenivas (@Dhaaruni) joins host Thomas Emerick for breakfast at the 2008 Wimbledon men’s singles final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. We reflect on a seismic summer for sports, politics, and the culture — and perhaps the greatest tournament final in the history of tennis.

Michael Salfino (The Athletic, Topps) and host Thomas Emerick take the 7 train to Shea Stadium as Bill Walsh's upstart Niners bring an early form of the West Coast offense to New York City. Steve DeBerg is starting at quarterback, but his voice amplifier is malfunctioning and Joe Montana will have to step in a bit. Visiting a young Jets team expected to make some noise in the early '80s, are the Niners ready for their close-up?
