Sports and Music
With the World Series just around the corner, we look at the surprising connections between athletes and musicians, and sports and music fans. Our guests include Budd Mishkin, the TV sports commentator who moonlights as a singer-songwriter; Tom Hedden, music director at NFL Films; and Mark Glanville, a former soccer hooligan who became an opera singer.

Hazmat Modine
Hazmat Modine draws from American music of the 20's and 30's through to the 50's and early 60's, blending elements of early Blues, Hokum Jugband, Swing, Klezmer, New Orleans R & B, and Jamaican Rocksteady. They play live in the studio.
