Love
As the tenth and final installment of Fandom, recurring guest Lex Rofeberg and I discuss how our relationships with our teams can illuminate us about how we handle relationships with our friends and romantic partners. Some themes include how love consists of difficult periods, when it feels like you are breaking up with your team, and the stigma against learning to love late in life. (Recorded 2/7/21)

Losing
Today's episode is on the topic of losing and what it means to see yourself as a loser through the identity of your sports teams. I speak with die-hard Cleveland sports fan Joey Kinsley, better known on social media as @siryacht. In this episode, we reflect on the longevity and memories of the Browns futility and discuss the effect losing has on the psyche of sport fans. Joey also addresses if and how that losing mentality in Cleveland changed once the Cavaliers won the NBA Championship in 2016. (Recorded 12/9/20)

Standings
On today's episode, Stephen Baum and I discuss standings (as in that compact table keeping track of teams' wins and losses). Fans are fascinated with jumping the gun on predictions, extrapolating playoff pictures, and ruminating on “if the season ended today”. In these examples, Stephen and I talk about the illusion of a fan’s desire to control time and how we sometimes misuse information when it’s available to us. In addition, what, if anything, do people use to track their personal "standings" in their day-to-day lives? (Recorded 12/2/20)
