October is peak “Sportstober”—and we’ve got your cheat sheet. In this fast, fun roundup, Amy and Scott cover F1 under the lights (Singapore, Austin, Vegas), MLB playoff storylines (including the Brewers’ “pocket pancakes”), the NBA’s new media maze (NBC/Peacock/Amazon) and end-of-quarter shot rule, NHL opening week and the Panthers’ plastic-rat tradition, plus why college football’s 12-team playoff keeps more fan bases alive.
Consider this your cozy-sweater guide to smarter small talk all month.
Sports Curious, presented by Last Night's Game, is here to take the awkwardness out of the conversation and help you join the sports conversation, even if you don't know the first thing about sports. We break down what's happening in sports in an easy-to-understand, fun way without all of the statistics and jargon, so you never have to exit stage left when the chatter at the office, dinner table or networking event switches to sports.
You can always catch us between podcasts at www.lastnightsgame.com or on social media. If you love us, leave us a review wherever you listen to your podcasts. And if you have feedback or questions, you can email Amy at amy@lastnightsgame.com.
