Advertise on podcast: Winging It In Motown: for Detroit Red Wings fans

So this is it. After 4 years and 76 episodes, we have recorded our final episode. Thankfully, we were able to close out the show with Jay returning for the final episode to join Sara and me. The first segment focuses on why I am leaving Winging it in Motown after five years, and mostly, why I decided to end the podcast. We talked about the recent horrible events in NHL news that have made me feel this way, and Jay and Sara shared their thoughts about it all. We wanted the majority of the show to be fun, though! So the second segment is a look back on our favorite moments from the four years of doing the show. The third segment features a few mailbag questions that we sort of answered, but had a lot of fun with. Then we closed out with one final game. I hope you enjoy playing along with Jay and Sara as they try to determine which questions are shocking moments in video game history and which ones I made up in the game “The Shock and the Spurious.” If you are using a podcast app, you can find both this podcast and WIIM Radio (our podcast devoted to the Red Wings) in the same channel - Winging it in Motown.

On this episode of Fer Sure, we talk to Andrew Thomas, who in addition to being a former professor at Carnegie Mellon, co-founder of seminal hockey stats site War On Ice, and an analyst for the Minnesota Wild, was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

They have to guess if a name is a ballet dancer from a Russian Ballet Company or a member of the 2010 U-18 Russian Hockey Team. Of course Sara thought of the name “Plie-r or Player” after, which is annoying because it’s clearly better.
