All live shows begin at 5:00pm PST. On Thursday, the SSDL flagship video podcast will drop part 1 of 4 with world renown ring announcer Jimmy Lennon, Jr.
New programming will start the week off on FBL5 Monday. Author Eric Nusbaum of “Stealing Home”, the story of Los Angeles and the building of Dodger Stadium, will do a long form interview. FBL5 Tuesday will be the first of a weekly show that will present the story of the unique and iconic volleyball tournament played in the backyards of Venice, CA, from 1983-1996, the Venice Backyard Championships (VBC).
On April 15, AAU President & CEO Dr. Roger Goudy will address the current state of play in the coronavirus era for the 700,000 member Amateur Athletic Union, one of the largest multi-sport organizations in the world. Three-time NCAA champion and player of the year from Stanford University, Kathryn Plummer, will join the FBL5 Wednesday show for the first time to discuss her recent international travels.
FBL5 Friday promises to be yet another wild show, as the “Happy Hour, Let if Fly” format will bring on Laker studio host Chris “Geeter” McGee and boxing Hall of Fame announcer Jimmy Lennon, Jr., who will promote the release of the four part interview with SSDL. Schea Cotton will also join the FBL Friday line-up, he is the subject of a fascinating documentary, “Manchild, The Schea Cotton Story, A Dream Deferred.” Cotton as a high school basketball player in the mid 1990’s was subjected to the kind of expectation and intense coverage that foreshadowed what LeBron James would face some 25 years later.
