Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Author Jack Bethel (Part 2)
Q: Do you have any memories of that 1979 season and their run to the Super Bowl?
I remember watching as the team, despite a middling regular season, found a way to beat Dallas and Tampa Bay in the playoffs. It felt like a turning point because the Rams finally captured a Super Bowl appearance—and then the Steelers' late-game execution and a few mistakes cost them, but it was a pivotal moment in LA football history that highlighted how resilience can push a team to the brink of a title.
Author Jack Bethel (Part 1)
Q: Tell us a little about the book and what inspired you to write it?
Bethel describes aiming for a non-linear history told through the voices of people sharing experiences in bars, with a Los Angeles setting and a focus on the human element in sports.
Jim Schmitz Interview (USA Olympic Weightlifting Coach and President of the US Weightlifting Federation) - Part 2
Q: You coached in three Olympics, correct?
Yes, I was head coach in 1988 and assistant in 1992; I coached multiple lifters across several teams, and I remained involved on and off through 1996, reflecting a long Olympic coaching career.
Jim Schmitz Interview (USA Olympic Weightlifting Coach and President of the US Weightlifting Federation) - Part 2
Q: Now, what advice would you have for young upcoming lifters and coaches?
Focus on technique and building workout capacity first, using gradual progression and mastering the basics before chasing heavy records; lean into a structured program with clear phases and cues that fit the athlete's abilities.
1970s Sports Nostalgia w/ SHN Member Harv Aronson (Part 1)
Q: Today, we will have a guest, his name is Harv Aronson. Tell us a little about your website and how you got started on all of this.
Harv explains that his site is a portfolio page on clippings.me where he aggregates articles and podcasts, and that he previously ran Steelers Hotline and Total Sports Recall, using it as a hub to access his work and episodes.
