Americarnage: Stickball Season! | Nat, Mike and Dan have whole lot of love for baseball, so much so that this episode takes an almost actually serious look at this season seeing as it's just a couple of days old.

Americarnage: Return of the Mike | At last! After however many weeks its been, Iron Mike is back on Americarnage and in many ways it's like he's never been away.

Americarnage: Let's Get Ready to Ramble | With Mike away for one more week, Nat and Dan have the utter pleasure of welcoming Luke Moore of The Football Ramble to the show - a man who is not only a hirsuit legend, he leant his nous at the very dawn of 'Carnage to help get us on t'interweb in the first place. Luke may be a god when it comes to the premier league but the guys take it upon themselves to sort him out with some real teams to support... In other news: Peyton's final choices have been narrowed down to Denver, Tennessee, Arizona and Miami; back in Indy, the Colts continue their firesale: they re-sign Reggie Wayne, but release everyone else – Jeff Saturday, Dallas Clark and Joe Addai.

Americarnage: You Can Play! | Nat and Dan are sportsmen to the roots of their boots, they want everyone to get involved. In that spirit, with Mike getting through his last few days as antipodean and sending his penultimate postcard, they get the frankly brilliant Tom Bell to join them to play in Camden. Not like that. Well, don't think so... In other news: Peyton Manning is no longer an Indianapolis Colt, becoming one of the most celebrated free agents of all time in a tearful press conference with Jim Irsay; the Colts are set to clear the decks, and release Saturday, Wayne and Garcon and be the big spenders at free agency; ‘Bountygate’ grips the NFL - a controversial programme run by the Saints to reward players with pitiful amounts for injuring opposition players is 'revealed' by the NFL; New York lead the East from Boston, but damn, the Penguins are hot again – 6 wins on the bounce and with Evgeni Malkin on fire and on course for his best season ever; n the East, the playoff race is tight as ever – Buffalo are seemingly back from the dead and Winnipeg are fifteen games away from their first trip to the post season since 1996 (although they have not played a full season since 1996); Brian Burke news – this week he launched the ‘You Can Play’ campaign, aimed at promoting tolerance for LGBT athletes, a campaign kick started by his deceased son Brendan – an initiative arguably created to possibly annoy Don Cherry; Linsanity is officially over – he’s no longer the most talked about point guard in the NBA after Deron Williams hit a career high 57 in the Nets win over Charlotte; corrections and clarifications; your questions in the Bodeans Mailbag; more news about Americarnage Live; more game fun from Dan and much, much more... | 9 3 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The West triumphed 152-149 but no-one played any D; Durant hit 36; Kobe hit 27, surpassing Michael Jordan as the all time leading All Star point scorer; in the NHL the trade deadline is toast. It was quiet with the biggest trade involving a non-trade; as Dan predicted on the show last week – Rick Nash stays in Columbus, partly because none of the big play off teams really wanted him; a bad season is now considerably worse for the Blue Jackets after GM Scott Howson told the press that the Columbus captian wanted a trade and that they weren’t going to let him go, throwing the poor bastard under the bus; Hines Ward has been cut by the Steelers after 14 seasons; Braylon Edwards could be back to the Jets; Rumour has it that a team “you would never have thought of” are talking to the Rams about their second pick… Corrections and Clarifications, your questions in the Bodeans Mailbag, more film talk, another message from Mike on the far side of the world and much, much more... | 2 3 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

On Friday the Knicks lost their first game since the phenomenon began; then came the real test – Lin and Mello on the court together for the first time; in other news the Heat are hot – they lead the NBA and have won 7 straight; oh, and remember about what Mayweather said about black players in the NBA not getting credit.

Mike Carlson + Nat Coombs = Awesome
That Dan bloke isn't bad either. It's all about Nat and Mike though, a great podcast for fans of American sports - they worked so well together on Channel five's NFL coverage and it carries on here.
Subscribe. Now.
To Idaho!
A highly-recommended listen for UK fans of American sport - of any and every level of knowledge. All four major professional sports (and the odd college event) are covered, but you don't even need to be a fan of all of them to enjoy the discussion as it regularly ambles off course. Great stuff
Good enough for tv
I found out about this pod cast on twitter. I instantly subscribed to it as it's the best podcast on American sports by British men (apart from mike Carlson who's American.) Its so good it deserves it's own tv show.
