Feature: Treehouse Fort Headlines

On the "air" since November 2007, the Treehouse Fort is the official radio podcast of BC Sports. It broadcasts live every Sunday at 12:00 pm ET, with archives available 24/7. (We hire a guy who specifically lets you listen to it on his walkman.)

Hosts Matt Sussman and Tuffy begin each show with sports "headlines," then proceed to chat with the Internet's most stylish writers and occasionally partake in some sketch comedy. At the end of every show, Charlie Doherty shares his "What Were They Thinking?" segment, highlighting the dumbest in sports meritocracy, complete with an online poll.
