Listography 51 – The Greatest Stretch in Sports

Sports is the gift that keeps on giving. At any point on the calendar there are multiple leagues in play, but it’s clear there are stretches where sports is at its best. That’s the topic of Episode 51: what stretch on the calendar is the best?

We put up a parameter of a three month period and then debated which one was the greatest. Is it the spring months when March Madness, The Masters, and MLB Opening Day highlight the slate? Or are you more into the winter months when basketball and hockey are underway, while football goes into bowl/playoff mode? And don’t forget the summer with baseball, NBA and NHL championships, and the Olympics or World Cup.

Listography 50 – Super Bowl LVIII

Well, would you look at that…a milestone of sorts for the show! This is episode 50 and we’re taking it back to where it all began. In our first episode ever we discussed the Super Bowl and it’s fitting that it’s our topic again for the 50th episode.

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs are ready for a rematch with Christian McCaffrey, Brock Purdy, and the 49ers. Tons of storylines envelop this matchup, along with some bold predictions that need to be made. Just for fun, we also discuss the must haves at a Super Bowl party.

Listography Ep. 48 – 2023 Year in Review

Here’s a new year’s resolution for you: we’re back and hoping to be more consistent with new material! We’re starting 2024 by looking back at 2023. As sports fans, there was plenty to remember from Taylor Swift taking over the NFL to the PGA Tour being challenged by LIV to the NCAA once again making headlines for conference realignment.

We take a look back, and discuss why all three storylines matter. Thanks for listening and be sure to tell your friends about us!

Listography: Episode 42 – TV Series Pt. II

Paternity leave is over for Wad and Listography is back in action! The TV series returns with part two and this time we’re diving into the world of sports. Those who have listened know this is our sweet spot and we put together an hour of conversation about the Mount Rushmore of Sports Broadcast Teams and our Top 5 ESPN 30 for 30’s.

With ESPN continuing to pump out quality documentaries, the job has only become tougher to narrow the list to five. From crime dramas like OJ: Made in America to 90’s nostalgia like The Last Dance and The U, 30 for 30 routinely leaves us wanting more.

MANTI TE’O HOAX TIMELINE

Listography: Episode 28 – NFL Special Pt. II

College football has arrived and this week the NFL is back as well. The journey to the Super Bowl begins Thursday night with the Chicago Bears hosting the Green Bay Packers to kick off the 100th season of the NFL.

Before kickoff though, take a few minutes to listen to Part II of our NFL Special. First, we break down the USA Today’s ranking of the 100 Greatest NFL Teams of All-Time. A Herculean task by the USA Today, the list gets it right at the top with the ’85 Bears. After that, it is certainly up for debate so let us know your thoughts.

We’ve talked plenty about the past over the course of these two shows, but to finish this episode out we give you our biggest storylines for the upcoming season. Unfortunately we recorded this show before many headlines (looking at you, Andrew Luck) broke, but nonetheless, it’s a quality segment that ends with our Super Bowl predictions. Tsuleff decided to take the Saints, while Wad elected to go with the Chargers.

Listography: Episode 27 – NFL Special Pt. I

If you thought we were done with football then think again! We’re back for another week of pigskin talk, but this time we’re moving to the NFL. Whereas the last two weeks we looked at our favorites with college football, we’re back to Mount Rushmores in this week’s episode.

For years people have debated who are the best quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers, and we’re here to settle all that talk. The episode didn’t come without controversy though as Wad said something so silly in the running backs segment that Tsuleff couldn’t even get mad because he was so perplexed. We’ll let you listen to hear exactly who was left off.

There’s plenty to break down in this packed episode so listen and then share your opinion. There’s plenty of places to do so with our Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram where you can also go for more content. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review on iTunes.

Listography: Episode 21

It’s summer and that means games! Video games, board games, lawn games…you name it, we’re going to cover it. This week we’re starting with video games and merging two of our loves: video games and sports.

What is the Mount Rushmore of Sports Video Games? What are 3 Things you want to see in the future of sports video games? Madden and NBA 2K ratings – did they get it right? We tackle all these hard hitting questions and more in the latest show, while also making pleas to Humongous Entertainment, the NCAA and EA Sports to please help us out.

We think the best segment though is in the middle of the show. Instead of Rave About Faves, we decided to do a draft involving the original 30 neighborhood kids from Backyard Baseball. It’s a segment loaded with nostalgia, which will have you rummaging through the computer cabinet drawers at your parents’ house in search of the old disc to pop in.

We appreciate you listening as always and don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review on iTunes and then follow Listography on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We’ll be back next week with a new show!

Listography: Episode 1

Hello all!

Welcome to Listography – the show where anything goes as long as it’s a list. A little bit about us before we get going. We are Zach Tsuleff and Zach Wadley and we’re finally giving this podcast thing a try after years of passing the time in college by asking each other the simple question, “Give me your top five ___________.”

That one question has provided us and our friends hours of debate about all sorts of topics and, after a few years of joking we should start a podcast, we decided to finally make it happen.

Without further ado, let’s dive into episode one. Super Bowl week has arrived and so has our Super Bowl Special. In this episode, we cover the Mount Rushmore of Super Bowl games since 2000 (1:40), our top five favorite Super Bowl halftime performances since 2000 (19:15), and break down a list from The Daily Meal about the best Super Bowl party foods. (27:50) We wrap up with three things we didn’t like from the NFL playoffs (33:45) and our Super Bowl predictions (41:20).

Be sure to leave a comment below and tell us your favorite Super Bowls and halftime performances. As an added bonus, check out our favorite Super Bowl commercials as well. We’ll be back in two weeks with our Valentine’s Day Special episode. Thanks for listening!
