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!
