Each show is podcasted individually. For instance, here is the page for the morning show:

Had some good luck with the contests recently. I won tickets a while ago to the Curling and just got the call yesterday I won the three day passes to Country Thunder. Not my cup of tea but the Mrs. was pretty excited. At least I don't have to pay money to listen to Country music...

Just announced that Pinder will now be with Steinberg in the afternoons.

Is there any reason for NBA fantasy advice on the morning show? Is there even one person west of the Great Lakes that plays NBA fantasy?

ESPN rising star Adnan Virk has been fired by the network, sources told The Post.

Virk is accused of leaking confidential company information to the media on multiple occasions, according to sources.

When ESPN investigated the allegations, it felt that Virk failed to fully cooperate.

He recently signed a new multi-year contract.

“Adnan Virk no longer works at ESPN,” ESPN vice president Josh Krulewitz told The Post.

I wonder what he was leaking? Seems kind of dumb to lose your job for doing that when your career was ascending.

Supposedly it has to do with him leaking the news that "Baseball Tonight" daily show was being cancelled. He was trying to save it by making it public. They wanted him to hand over his phone and he refused.

Dam I liked Virk’s segments. I hope he can land on his feet.
