Well hey, it's the FINAL episode of this wonderful season! Thank you so much for tuning in and sending over kind sports-centric words/thoughts/reviews. We love ya, and it's been a blast! AND for this final week...Larry and Christian sit down with longtime friend, sporty storyteller, and hardcore PickleBall enthusiast, Katina Dutton, to dig into stories of the sports/games/activities we take on as we get a bit long in the tooth (as the olds say). We talk stories all about making the transition from competitive team and individual sports to fitness, rec, and (dare we say...) "lifetime" sports - what that means, how that feels, what to do with an aging bod that still wants to go go go! Among other things we talk tai chi, golf, bocci, backpacking, shuffleboard, swimming,water aerobics, cornhole, weightlifting, pingpong, Sport Courts, solo hoop shooting, recovery time, bad backs/arms/knees/hips. AND most definitely we get into the merits and nuances of the aforementioned and suddenly ubiquitous sport of PickleBall. 

Banter, balm, and nostalgia ensue. Enjoy!

In this season's penultimate episode Rosen and Winn peruse the narrative Wildcard notions of the slip sandal, Michael Jordan's generosity, Adam Morrison weeping at center court, why Gonzaga gets to be the "chosen one" when it comes to basketball mid-majors, and more sporty esoterica. 

THEN we bring you TWO remarkable "Wildcard" stories that didn't neatly fit into our previous episode themes! Friends of the podcast (and real-life friends) Carrie Seymour and Greg Heinzman deliver stories of family, complicated relationships, messy sports-centric traditions, the love of sporting animals, humans, and deep down just what sports means to them. We make a pilgrimage to the Kentucky Derby, and we navigate the football fields, basketball courts, and baseball diamonds of Walla Walla, Washington with these two spot-on storytellers. Come along for this storied ride, y'all!!

Carrie Seymour and Greg Heinzman are writers, educators, mentors, and award-winning faculty members at Boise State University. Look 'em up, and hey maybe register for one of their classes or workshops Story Forward friends!

This week Larry and Christian sit down to cull three remarkable stories all about Adult Sports Leagues (softball featured prominently!) from Mr. Grant Olsen, Sam Berman, and Ben Tanzer. Among SO many other things we talk about the lingering triumph of stealing bases and missing signs, batting 1.000 and coaches who suck. We explicate getting beaned in the face (twice!) by very hard, very fast-moving spheres. And...we spin a tale of showing up to the softball diamond super-duper high and ready to play the best game of your life. Relive the glory days with the boys, and enjoy these well-spun yarns!

This week co-hosts Larry Rosen and Christian Winn leave the storytelling guests at home and get into the nuances and narratives of just what sports mean to them. As players and participants, fans and followers, Winn and Rosen certainly live, and have lived, lives where sports play a significant role. They dive into old school Kingdome Mariners days, the magic of the NY Mets, the untimely death of Thurman Munson, bonding with their fathers, mothers, sons, sisters, and lifelong friends around youth soccer, bowling at the JCC, tennis in the park, 2-on-2 basketball, and a whole lot more. SO many stories...Enjoy and let the boys know what you think!

This week we once again eschew the ball sports and this time head to the skateparks and mean streets to find our stories from the world of skateboarding. First up, Story Forward's own Larry Rosen brings us a medley of wicked formative stories from his time as a serious (more serious than we ever knew!) skateboard kid in the early days of the SoCal scene. The Concrete Wave skatepark, fitting in, and Stacy Peralta play prominent roles. THEN our man Brett Badostain of EaseDrop Podcast Network fame delivers a touching father/son runaway and return story about his angst-ridden skateboarding prodigal days, and the loving father who understood just what young Brett needed. AND to round out our boarding stories, longtime friend of Story Forward, filmmaker, creator, and badass skateboarding maven, Erica Deshner Cornwall, delivers a full-throated story about learning to drop in, and how skateboarding has and will always influence and inform her life as an artist and human being.

This week we set aside the spherical objects of sport and get into three remarkable stories from the world of Non-Ball Sports. We bring you chef/food-artist/big mountain skier/roller skating queen/worldclass yarn spinner, Chelsie Richter talking up a marathon trail-run experience she will never, ever forget! Then NYT bestselling author and journalist, Kim Cross, brings us a touching, thoughtful, mother/son riding thousands of wheelies on their mountain bikes story. AND finally, award-winning author and Iron Man maven Bridget Quinn brings us a funny and well-rounded narrative of mishaps, wonders, triumphs, and the wild world of Ironman marathoners like herself (including this fun "fact": topically applying French's Mustard heals/soothes leg cramps!?). Rosen and Winn banter included. Enjoy!

This week Larry and Christian get into some personal banter and nuances of a game they both love, and love to hate - ah, GOLF. They also sit down with PGA Tour staff writer, logtime golf journalist, novelist, and epic yarnspinner, Cameron Morfit, to talk about his famous and infamous golf-centric encounters with Bill Murray and Bill Clinton. Next up is the burgeoning poet, storyteller, and golfing talent Ryan Marsh who gets into the beauties and small tragedies (read: some Canada geese may be harmed in this episode) of the game he so loves. Then, Story Forward's own Christian Winn gets into a circuitous story of his sporty sophomore year in high school - camaraderie, competition, and the spectre of violence on the links! Enjoy knocking it around the course with the gents this week!!

This week Christian and Larry sit down with fiction writer and blue-collar oracle Ross Hargreaves, author and worldwide literary talent Grant Faulkner, and the remarkable ESPN producer/talent and author of the must-read sports tome, FANATICUS, Justine Gubar.

We dig into stories of meeting a dude at a bar who claimed he poisoned Michael Jordan in Park City, UT, the night before his legendary "Flu Game" vs. The Jazz; a litany of getting going all-in with a whole host of sports superstars in a lifetime of loving sports; and reporting about, dealing with, and trying (to little avail) to make good with a number of WAY over-the-top and pretty messed[up Ohio State football fans.

This is a GREAT episode for sports enthusiasts and fanatics across the board! Enjoy!!

This week we bring you three heartfelt, offbeat, kickass stories from the world of alternative sports! Nicky Mustard brings us a no BS coming of age, father/son/family story revolving around chilli and donuts and Professional Wrestling. Rebecca Evans takes us deep into one woman's saga (Rebecca's own) into the go-go world of Professional Sport Aerobics. AND the one and only "Kentucky" Brian Taylor takes us back to his infamous (or just plain famous if you ask him) early 20's and the debauchery and dominance of his career in the world of Adult Dart Leagues. NOT to be missed! Enjoy!

In our FINAL episode of Season 2.5 Larry and Christian head into a narrative maze of stories, anecdotes, ramble, remembrances, and a whole lot of love for the power and experience of live happenings, readings, rock shows, and how it's always, or nearly always, best to be there in person when the real s#%t goes down!

It's August. It's hot. The days are both long and short as summer '22 plays out its final act. And...we were feeling a bit nostalgic this week as well as gearing up to head to various theme parks, National Parks, city parks, and dog parks ourselves. SO, we've rebooted one of our favorite episodes from '21's Stories of Summer season - The Theme Parks of Summer. Thusly, we ask you to grab a cold drink, take in the smell of drooping late-summer flowers and the hot pavement seeping sulfur and oil, feel the warm wind rise across your face, and step through these theme park gates once again to take in some stories for a time.

'21 Show Notes: This week we take a ride through some epic Theme Park stories and experiences of the Magic Kingdom, love and loss, fathers and sons, girls, travel writing, growing up in SoCal, and the lasting impact of being a Disneyland Jungle Cruise Captain. Larry and Christian talk theme park memories to start things off, then Larry goes on a Disneyland deep dive with Capt. Mike Sigalas. To round out this week's episode Larry brings us our Correspondent piece, a story all about a girl, a father, a date, and an unforgettable theme park memory. Be safe, smart, and well out there. And remember, keep moving the story forward!
