In this week’s episode, Mike and Wai talk about their favorite March Madness memories and also hash out whether today’s college athletes should be paid. They also talk about the off-season football drama of Coach Kliff Kingsbury giving his players social media phone time during practice, the soap opera that is the Denver Broncos ownership succession battle between two women, and the NFL-first hiring of two woman football coaches by one team. We also touch on Ichiro’s retirement and another Opening Day of the MLB season.

“Sports Detox” is an at times serious and at times humorous weekly podcast that looks at the latest stories from the world of sports—both positive and negative—that are tied into cultural and societal issues. Hosts Wai Sallas and Mike Kasdan are equal parts rabid sports fan and serious social commentator. The Detox is a back-and-forth pop-culture-infused peeling of the onion of sports that gets at its many layers and reverberations.
