RADIO WARS. Jim and I discuss the week and then we're joined by Billy Penn's Dan Levy (26:50), a longtime sports writer-blogger-podcaster-radio host. We get his thoughts on what did (and didn't) happen at 97.5 and WIP. We also discuss our somewhat confrontational past and Philly Twitter circa 2010. You can read Dan's work at BillyPenn.com and follow him on Twitter (@DanLevyThinks).

On Crossing Streams, Jim and I were joined by John Gonzalez, who recently left CSN to go be a first househusband of LA. We talked about the Sixers, the antiquated views regurgitated by many in the local media, why Philly probably wasn't the right place for tanking, Sam Hinkie's brilliance and flaws, Joshua Harris, and more. Really good, insightful conversation with someone who spent a lot of time around the Sixers organization.
