Introducing: Roughhousing, Part 1: Hell Week
2023/03/02
In Religion of Sports' latest podcast series, Host Iggy Monda takes listeners inside America’s locker rooms and field houses to explore hazing in high school sports today. Through deeply personal stories of kids who have hazed, parents who have fought for accountability, coaches who are scared of what their players do when they’re not looking, and people who have hazed others, he ultimately asks why hazing is so ingrained in American culture – and what it says about us.
Follow ROS Presents: Roughhousing for the full series.
New Jersey Turnpikes
2021/08/05
In 1999, a comedy about the ABA -- the upstart 70s basketball league -- was supposed to be released. The movie starred Orlando Jones, Kelsey Grammer and Jason Segel, and featured cameos by Jim Brown, Roy Jones Jr, and Julius Erving. Everyone involved thought the movie was going to be a classic. But it never came out. Most of the actors never even got to see it. Ben investigates the untold story of New Jersey Turnpikes to find out what actually happened.
Hartford Whalers
2021/07/22
The Hartford Whalers logo is everywhere, worn by celebrities from Snoop Dogg to Adam Sandler….even though the team no longer exists. But the small state capital was once home to hockey greats like Gordie Howe and Ron Francis, before the team was uprooted to North Carolina. Ben returns to his home state to find out how Hartford once had a NHL team, why the team moved and ripped the heart out of the city, and how it’s seemingly more popular now than when it existed.
Holyfield's Ear
2021/07/08
In 1997, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield squared off in arguably the most notorious and strange fight in boxing history. It is remembered in infamy as The Bite Fight. Lesser known is that the piece of Evander Holyfield's ear that Mike Tyson bit off and spit out went missing. Ben ventures to find out what happened to that chunk of human flesh and why Tyson bit the ear in the first place.
NCAA Football Video Game
2021/06/24
For years, EA Sports produced an extremely popular, and extremely accurate, college football video game— with all the NCAA teams, stadiums, mascots, traditions, and, yes, the actual players. And then it was gone, leaving its cult fanbase enraged and fighting to keep the game alive. Ben explores the NCAA Football video game series, how it was made, why it went away, and how its loss exposed what it really means to be a college athlete.
The AND1 Mixtapes
2021/06/10
In 1999, a small apparel company named AND1 released a VHS tape of streetball highlights set to a hip hop soundtrack that quickly became a worldwide craze. AND1 was soon hosting games all over the world, and the players were international celebrities. But then, just as quickly as it rose, it all disappeared. Twenty years later, Ben untangles the complicated origins, unlikely rise and untimely demise of the basketball phenomenon he fell in love with as a kid.

Masters of the Gridiron
2021/05/27
The Cleveland Browns are the most tortured franchise in sports. They have never won a Super Bowl. But in 1986, in the middle of the season, the players on the team filmed a time travel sorcery movie that prophesied they would do just that— it featured the novelty-singer Tiny Tim, had ninjas and sword fighting, a castle, a shotgun, and even a black bear. Ben searches for answers about why this obscure movie was made and why no one outside Cleveland has ever seen it.

This show tells great stories with in depth interviews but the host is so enthusiastic it becomes annoying.

Still Early, But…
…this show has some room for improvement. Filled with interesting stories but the actual reporting is kind of weak.
