Unless you’re superhuman, making it to the Olympics is the quintessential long shot. AudioFiles roots for underdogs everywhere in its latest podcast – including a bobsledder hoping to compete in the Sochi games. We’ll also hear about one man’s attempt to work through endless city bureaucracy to honor his hero. And a year after Sandy, we visit a Bronx watering hole hoping to reopen after suffering devastating damage in the storm.
Plus, New York City now has a nationally-ranked, undefeated college football team. We’ll take you to a game from the team’s improbable season.
Our Guys joins us for a live set in the studio, and author G. Willow Wilson drops by for a Q&A.
