    This is pretty old (from October 20th), but I just finally listened to it yesterday and found it very informative and interesting. Probably one of the more interesting BS Reports that I remember.

    Bill Simmons speaking with Ticketmaster CEO Nathan Hubbard on the changing marketplace of sports and music. Quite a bit of discussion on the NBA lockout and whether teams should be concerned about difficulties selling tickets.

    More music than sports. Great podcast.

    Haven't listened to it yet but isn't anyone else a bit up in arms against Ticketmaster and their ridiculous service fees? They've basically cornered the market and have little to no competitors. Usually one's best option if they choose not to buy tickets to a concert is to go purchase it at the box office(that's if that option is available, sometimes the only option is to purchase it online).

    possibly my favourite BS report, smart people always make simmons look good, certainly better than articles comparing serious things to the movie Dave

    some very cool things in it about ticketing, in game experience and internet
