Now For Tomorrow with Deepak Chopra Religion of Sports

From Religion of Sports and PRX, Lost in Sports is a new sports mystery podcast where host Ben Baskin takes on some of the biggest questions in sports and some you never thought to ask. In the second episode of the premiere season, Ben untangles the complicated origins of the AND1 Mixtapes. In 1999 a small apparel company named AND1 released a VHS tape of streetball highlights set to a hip hop soundtrack that quickly became a worldwide craze. AND1 was soon hosting games all over the world, and the players were international celebrities. But then, just as quickly as it rose, it all disappeared. Follow Lost in Sports for more sports mysteries.

The newest Religion of Sports show, Crushed, revisits the steroid era to untangle its truth from the many myths, examine the legacy of baseball’s farthest-reaching scandal, and explore what it tells us about sports culture in America. In 1998, fans across the country fell in love with the home run race as Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa chased baseball immortality. Sportswriter Joan Niesen recounts her memories of that summer, examines the history and mythology of the home run and asks why people across the country wanted to believe they were watching heroes.

We have all heard about the benefits of exercise, but compliance isn’t easy, especially now with restricted movement. But without guilt you can bring a great benefit to your body by the simple, repeated action of standing up, moving around, and stretching.
