The B.S.Report
Designed for the sports fan with a sense of humor,The B.S.Report is hosted by the sportswriter Bill Simmons. Simmons' show is in very loose and free form and it's not uncommon for him to go almost a whole show without even mentioning sports,especially when he really gets going about movies or his ongoing enthusiasm about reality television.
Wait,Wait...Don't Tell Me

Listeners also get to call in to play different news related games for a prize.
