| 5/2/22 |  Sports & Senator Pat Geary | In which we discuss the second round of the NBA playoffs, whether basebrawls are regressive acts of violence or progressive expressions of workers' rights, how Liverpool Football Club is like the USSR, and the NFL draft.

| 4/21/22 | A Pod Divided Against Itself | Are Celtic fans within their rights to rain hate down on Kyrie Irving? Is Liverpool an underdog against Manchester City?

| 4/7/22 | April Is the Cruelest Month | Destanni Henderson, Alyiah Boston, Dawn Staley, and the University of South Carolina women's basketball team handle Paige Bueckers and the University of Connecticut to take home the national championship. On the men's side, Jonah and Matthew feel different feels for departing Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski. Will MLB choke on the excess of its capitalist vomit, i.e. can Steve Cohen's spending overcome baseball's cheap, closed-market owners? All that, NBA playoff talk, and a shout-out the Staten Island Amazon workers who voted to form a union.

| 3/30/22 | It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad (Sports) World | We open with the slap heard 'round the world, then talk about the Robert Williams III injury and its implications, and LeBron's injury and performance with the Lakers. We discuss the great Phoenix Suns at length and fail to figure out who and what Kyrie Irving missed most of the season for. Plus a quick run through Will Smith's filmography, where Matthew confesses his life-long Will Smith secret to Jonah. This episode was recorded on Monday, March 28th.

| 3/29/22 | As the Sports World Turns | With the British government forcing Roman Abramovich to sell Chelsea after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, do they next turn their gaze to Manchester City and its ownership? Is this sudden stance a sign of progressive values on the rise in sports, or yet another instance of Western hypocrisy? What's left to say after the Deshaun Watson trade to Cleveland? All that and so much more. Follow the Jacobin Sports Show on Twitter: @JacobinSports Email us: jacobinsports@gmail.com | — | ||||||
| 3/17/22 | Nostalgia | Matthew and Jonah talk about old-school names dominating the headlines this week—Kevin Garnett and various Ubuntu Celtic beefs quashed in light of his number being retired; Tom Brady, socialist icon, deciding to re-join Tampa Bay shortly after announcing his retirement; Major League Baseball ending its lockout and moving toward a new season.

Time-stamp highlights include the Morales interview (8:50), the village it takes to raise an elite QB prospect (13:30), how figure skaters might be a cautionary tale for parents chasing the QB dream (24:45), whether a billionaire Russian oligarch can be a sympathetic figure (37:30), potential positives to the MLB work stoppage (52:30), Laker schandenfreude (1:00:00) what Russell Westbrook can learn from Allen Iverson (1:03:00), and more!

| 2/16/22 | Out With the Old, in With the New | Super Bowl LVI is in the books. How was such a hyped-up game that wasn't decided till the final 30 seconds somehow still so boring? How was the halftime show emblematic of why late-stage capitalism sucks? We also review the NBA trade deadline and what some of the big moves could mean for the near-future.

| 2/10/22 | Tom Brady: Working-Class Hero? | We welcome John Schneider to discuss his fascinating articles about Tom Brady being a truly inspirational socialist icon.

| 12/24/21 | Season Finale | The year's final episode returns to its roots by talking NBA: the league's handling of the Omicron outbreak, Jonah's ironic sympathy for the Lakers' struggles (one he does not extend to Manchester United's), the surprises in this year's standings and the hosts wondering what they'd if certain celebrities—alive and dead, sports-related and not—turned up at our non-existent house on the Rhine.

| 12/18/21 | Love in the Time of Media | Mark Schindler and Crina Mustafa join and discuss being a fan of a team/sport while also covering them. Is it best to keep those sides separate, or have standards changed to where the fan/worker duality is acceptable, even beneficial? How is the culture of fans in New York City different from Toronto; how is that different from Cleveland or Indiana? We also brainstorm what changes we'd like to see in how the NBA and WNBA are covered, how the celebration of Steph Curry setting the all-time record for 3s was unprecedented in our lifetime, and more!

| 11/10/21 |  Liberals, the Las Vegas Raiders, the NBA, and More | Why are Knicks fans so boastful after less than a year of competence? What's behind Aaron Rodgers' anti-vaccine comments? Why is it appropriate to keep Henry Ruggs' humanity in mind? Why won't Jonah write off the Lakers? What did Matthew once say in a packed courtroom that pissed off the judge? All this and more! | — | ||||||
| 11/1/21 | The Callous, the Criminal, and the Kings | Halloween season brings out the darkness in this episode. First Matthew and Jonah discuss Major League Baseball's disgusting defense of Atlanta Braves fans' disgusting tomahawk chop celebration. Then they discuss the NHL and Chicago Blackhawks' powers prioritizing profit and protecting their interests over prosecuting a sexual predator who molested Kyle Beach and went on to abuse more hockey players. Finally friend of the pod Peter Lucas hops on as the focus turns to the blackest comedy in sports: the Sacramento Kings.

| 10/20/21 | 2021-22 NBA Season Preview | Another NBA season is upon us! Mark Schindler joins us to preview stories around the league. Can the Lakers Big 3 lead them to a title?

All that plus Mark's insights on standout rookie Evan Mobley, Jonah getting in his feelings when Matthew makes a Celtics crack, and more!

| 10/18/21 | The Three Faces of WTF | Jon Gruden's ugly emails and uglier defense of them. The Saudi royal family's purchase of Newcastle United to hide their crimes. Kyrie Irving's abstruse "the personal is political" defense of jobs over lives. Is there any thread linking these sad actors? Matthew and Jonah look for one in a wide-ranging conversation that probably raises more questions than answers.

| 9/30/21 | A Conspiracy Grows in Brooklyn w/ Haley O'Shaughnessy | Podcast superstar Haley O'Shaughnessy hops onboard to talk about the NBA's anti-vaxx sect and what the reaction and coverage to it tells us about the players, the media, and celebrity culture. Then we play truth or dare with NBA title faves, beautiful arena names, Tom Brady and returning to old haunts, emotional sports reunions, teams we'd re-relocate back to their original homes, and more!

| 9/24/21 | Kinks, the Blitz, and Flowers for Jason | Choose your kink: dynasties or parity? One-game playoffs or longer series? Jonah and Matthew discuss this as well as the NFL's winless and lossless teams, the WNBA playoffs (including why the New York Liberty are not Great Britain in World War II), an ode to Jayson Tatum, Ben Simmons listener email, and more.

| 9/15/21 | September Smorgasbord | Matthew and Jonah converse about much in the world of sports: What do Patriots fans make of Mac Jones after Week 1's loss? How did Nietzsche predict the Jets' QB situation? Why does Jonah, a Red Sox fan, hope they don't make the playoffs, and why does that make Matthew feel like Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters? Is the wealth disparity in European soccer a problem, or business as usual? All this plus listener emails, why Elfrid Payton has a shot at making the Naismith Hall of Fame, and more.

| 9/8/21 | New York Stories, L.A. Story w/ Will Kuntz | Los Angeles Football Club's assistant general manager Will Kuntz joins the show to talk about the club, Major League Soccer, and his career path from New York Yankees intern to the LAFC front office.

| 8/30/21 | Kvetch and Shoot | Hell is other people and in this episode Matthew & Jonah take aim at a number of them: Manchester City for the Cristiano Ronaldo-to-United stunner, the NY Post for juxtaposing Benjamin Mendy's rape charges with his career resume, the New York Mets for Mets-ing, the media for confusing "immaculate" and "perfect," and people making fun of the Dell & Sonya Curry breakup. Matthew even reveals a newfound resentment of his own fandom. L'enfer c'est tout le monde. Follow the Jacobin Sports Show on Twitter: @JacobinSports Email us: jacobinsports@gmail.com | — | ||||||
| 8/19/21 | Baseball: Balance, Brilliance, and Brian Menéndez | This week's guest, Brian Menéndez of Baseball Prospectus and FiveThirtyEight, hops on to talk baseball: why the Rays and Braves are ahead of the Yankees, Red Sox and Mets, the Astros' and Giants' turnarounds, and who's the best player in the game (spoiler: it's not Shohei Otani). The pod ends McLaughlin Group-style with Matthew asking Brian and Jonah their stance on various MLB rule changes. Brian Menéndez (@briantalksbsb) writes for Baseball Prospectus. His work has also appeared in FiveThirtyEight, Beyond the Boxscore, DRays Bay, and The Hardball Times.

| 8/12/21 | Athletes, Mental Health, and Self-Advocacy w/ Johanna Mellis | Sports and culture scholar Dr. Johanna Mellis joins the pod for a discussion on athletes, mental health, and the failure of organizations to care for or about them. We start with Hungarian Olympic athletes during the Cold War who defected to the West only to find that capitalist conditions were often no better than what they left behind. We discuss how their activism created positive changes in their home country. Then we shift to Olympic athletes today, e.g. Simone Biles, Becca Meyers and Adam Peaty, and look at the struggles they face from institutions and fans who care less about their well-being than their artistry. Dr. Mellis also explains the long and sad history of racism and swimming and how that took shape for hundreds of years and into the present. Dr. Johanna Mellis is an educator and historian of Cold War/Hungarian/international sport. A former Division I swimmer, she also co-hosts the End Of Sport podcast.
