Episode 9: Shana Muhammad 11/10/2020

Episode 9: Shana Muhammad What would you do with a million dollars? Surely we've all thought about it. Though what are the odds that any of us will ever come across an extra milli to blow?

Episode 1: This is Counterspective 11/17/2019

Episode 1: This is Counterspective Having already been to two World Cups together, both the 2010 edition in South Africa, and Brasil in 2014, why were Colin and Mike feeling a bit uneasy about their third one in 2018 - this time in Russia? Was it simply because they hadn't been there before? Were they embarrassed that the US Men's National Team had failed to qualify for the tournament (the answer here is 'yes')? Perhaps they were unnerved by all the news about Russia's geo-political 'muscle' as of late. Or maybe it was just a lack of informa /episode/index/show/2c933dd7-3aee-44d6-930d-3b503b2a0e83/id/24726345

BONUS Episode 1: What is the Kremlin? Here in the U.S., it's not uncommon to hear "the Kremlin" referenced in a news story on Russia or the Russian government. But what exactly is it?

Find out as Colin and Mike tour the Kremlin during their time in Moscow for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. /episode/index/show/2c933dd7-3aee-44d6-930d-3b503b2a0e83/id/24726348

Would all their positive experiences be overshadowed by a single negative one at the hands of Russian football hooligans?
