CLEVELAND, this is for you! Well, actually, it's for the 29 other NBA teams including the red hot Cavaliers, because Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are a free and fair podcast and will discuss the entire league two weeks into the start of the 2024-25 NBA season! Cleveland is undefeated thanks to a red-hot offense, while Oklahoma City is holding it down undefeated with an ice cold defense, but can they keep the momentum going? The injury bug is already up early this season with Paolo Banchero, Scottie Barnes, Desmond Bane, and ALL the New Orleans Pelicans, but can these teams shake it off? Maybe coaching really IS important early in the season, or is it just a matter of the Lakers and Suns finally buying in? Riche and Adam also discuss surprises and disappointments, Anthony Davis dominating opponents, rookie contract extensions, and more!! So suit up and take it out in episode 324 with the NBA-Team!

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
First, the late 80s was an era where the syndicated sitcom ruled the airwaves, primarily on FOX and independent affiliates, also primarily on the weekends. One such show starred podcast favorite Diana Canova, a single mother who worked at a record label. Despite being on the air for two seasons, very little of this show exists online. Maybe viewers didn't have the heart to record and retain Throb?
Then, for Halloween we went back to a very short-lived show to commemmorate the event. Even nowadays, there have been shows where ghosts inhabit a house but can only be seen by select individuals. NBC tried this in 1989 with Eric Idle. Within a month, Nearly Departed was wholly departed from the network.
