The Big Weekend comes out of winter hibernation with a profile on Bill Raftery, who had a front-row seat to Jim Nantz saying goodbye to his college basketball friends. Then some Masters thoughts, including Scott Van Pelt on what&#39;s so special about Augusta as the best golf weekend of the year arrives. Plus, an interview with ESPN&#39;s Paul Hembekides, co-author with Mike Greenberg on Got Your Number: The Greatest Sports Legends and the Numbers They Own.

The only podcast to proudly originate from the basement of sports bloggers, The Big Weekend explores the stories other websites deem too silly to cover. And some serious ones as well. A rotating cast of writers from The Big Lead bring their aversion to needless hot takes and willingness to laugh every Monday and Thursday. A major name from the world of sports media may pop their head in every once in awhile to talk about the industry or to simply have their time wasted with arbitrary lists and general nonsense.
