We talk for a bit about five years of Place to Be Nation, legal ages of consent, tailgates, witchcraft, an open invitation for Tommy James or his Shondells to join us, and the pile of messy relationships that is Fleetwood Mac. Don't let the landslide bring you down! Listen now!

The NBA Finals is finally here, and for the fourth year in a row, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are going to discuss the same two teams. Is Adam "over it" with the Cavs/Warriors matchup being a mismatch this year? Why does Andrew think the Andre Iguodala injury hold a lot more importance than Adam thinks? Can LeBron do seemingly the impossible? And although Cleveland and Golden State are still duking it out for the NBA Championship, Riche and Adam also discuss the Gone Fishin' editions for the final four teams, including the Celtics and Rockets, who had devastating Game 7 losses. So suit up and take it, Finals style, with he NBA-Team!

Mild-mannered reporters by day, Greg Phillips and Nick Duke share an intense love of comic books that has made them the Hard-Traveling Fanboys. Over the course of their travels through comicdom, they have encountered numerous stories via the wonder of trade paperbacks and graphic novels. Once a month, Nick and Greg will review one of those collections in The Longbook Hunters.
This time around, the boys finally tackle arguably Marvel’s most famous “event book,” that staple of early ‘90s comic book kids’ lives, “The Infinity Gauntlet” by Jim Starlin, George Perez and Ron Lim! Greg and Nick discuss their histories with this title, 1991 fashion, the unusual Avengers lineup of the time, Adam Warlock weirdness, Thanos’ inability to take a hint, and much more! Plus: how does the book stack up with the movie it inspired, Avengers: Infinity War?
