Upon Further Review
From Mike Pesca, host of the popular Slate podcast The Gist, comes the greatest sports minds imagining how the world would change if a play, trade, injury, or referee's call had just gone the other way. Upon Further Review is a limited edition Slate podcast based on the book of the same name. Over the course of five episodes Mike and a roster of podcast All-Stars will explore counterfactual sporting scenarios through a combination of speculative fiction, investigative journalism and sound-rich narrative. From turning points that every sports fan rues or celebrates, to the forgotten would-be inflection points that defined sports, Upon Further Review answers age old questions, and settles the score, even if the score bounced off the crossbar.

I'm a big fan of the "what if," but I was also pleasantly surprised that this podcast wasn't the same format every single time. They used different storytelling devices to achieve different ends in each instance, to excellent and often comedic effect. I hope there's a second season on the way!

The chances are you’ve lived through many/all of the events chronicled so far. You have your own memories of the time. This podcast supplements your memories with an alternate look at what if. I’ve found it makes me think about my own memories. Ultimately each episode engrosses & entertains. They allow you to compare your view the game from another fan’s perspective.
