The Great Bracket Racket
The Great Bracket Racket
Kev Young
A podcast where Kev and guests explore a variety of subjects - from food to TV to music to history - via America’s favorite pastime, pre-made brackets! In each episode, brackets designed by the host, along with questions written by the host, will determine who wins! But it’s not about who wins the bracket - it’s about the discussions we had along the way. Come start your bracketeering journey!
Bracket 04: Disneyland Rides (with Brian Rudloff and Jacalyn Young)
You ever get stuck on the Haunted Mansion? So has almost everyone who has ridden that ride. It stops a lot. If only there was a podcast about Disneyland rides you could listen to while you’re waiting for it to get moving again. Well, my friends, that very specific and bizarre prayer has been answered: a Great Bracket about Disneyland rides! SoCal natives Jacalyn & Rudy (aka Brian, from Marvel Star Wars Explorers) join in to discuss a bunch of our favorites, from Space Mountain to Peter Pan’s Flight to Rise of the Resistance. So hold onto your seats, ‘cuz this here’s the wildest ‘cast in the wilderness!

Bracket 03: The Wire Characters (with Eric Ambler and Geoff Clarke)
What the fuck did I do??? Well, I did a podcast about The Wire characters with Eric and Geoff! It's a special super sized bracket because there is just TOO MUCH to talk about when it comes to The Wire, and these three pals were more than up to the task. From Bunk to Marlo to Clay Davis, the world of Baltimore is explored in depth here, with a wide variety of kooky questions and unpredictable match-ups. Who comes out on top? Just listen to find out. And don't forget to pick up some WMDs!
