Our Contributions

Not only do we try and produce content to engage and educate our fans by bringing on guests from different backgrounds, but often we are asked to be guests on a variety of shows, Podcasts, and other sports talk media. Below are just a few of the guest appearances we have made and guests we have had on our show. Stay tuned for more to come!
Blue Wire Network
The Injured List Podcast ® was at one time part of the Blue Wire Podcast community as a member of their "Hustle" program. Unfortunately, the program was discontinued abruptly in early 2022.
Blue Wire is a sports podcasting platform bringing together the next generation of journalists, influential fans, commentators – from social media to developing former athletes. Our mission is to lead the conversation in sports on social media and continue that conversation on hundreds of sports podcasts that reach fans across the globe.

Kim Brady
Kim Brady was a former DI collegiate soccer player at UC Berkeley in California. She joined us on the show to speak about how she fought through career threatening spine injuries to have a successful and fulfilling soccer career. Even more impressive however, was how she was able to transition that success to the world of business as a successful entrepreneur and now business coach!
Bill Hobson
In this episode we interview Bill Hobson, former beat reporter of the "Bad Boy" Detroit Pistons and other Detroit professional sports teams. He is now owner of Hobson Media Enterprises. He joins us to share his wisdom and stories of his interactions with players and staff throughout the years. Plus we get to ask Bill about his "sources" when it came time to report on the injured players.

In this episode we interview Jase Kraft, former champion DII indoor track and cross country athlete, NCAA All American. For all you running fans out there! You DO NOT want to pass on this episode. Hear Jase talk about his career, and how he came back from burnout to revive his running, professional, and personal career!
Kelly Gunther
In this episode we speak with former 2016 Olympic Long Track Speed Skater Kelly Gunther. She shares her amazing story with us. From growing up in a single parent home, to making the 2010 Olympic team, then 24 hours later being replaced, to overcoming a horrific ankle injury and THEN making the 2014 Olympic team that travelled to Sochi Russia. This is an amazing story of resilience and perseverance by a truly gifted athlete and more importantly, person.

Belly Up Media Network
Belly Up Media Network: In April of 2022, The Injured List Podcast ® officially partnered up with Belly Up Sports Podcast Network, now known as Belly Up Media.
“The Internet’s Sports Bar”, Belly Up Media
Originated out of Toledo, Ohio. Three friends,Mike, Blaine & Brandon, came together with a plan to take on the sports mainstream in a hope to change the every day sports norm. Thus creating Belly Up Sports!
Ya, we get it….You may be asking, “Why the name Belly Up Sports?” Well, when we first started some said we’d go “belly up”. So we replied, “bring it on”, and made it our name. Turns out, three plus years later and we’re still here.
We also really like the image of bellying up to a sports bar because that’s us. But just to be clear, you know that person who belly ups to the bar and spouts off stupid, non-sensical stuff? Yeah, that’s not us. We’re the people who make fun of that guy while spouting off original, funny and clever stuff that you love. And we do so on topics ranging from the NFL to NASCAR, from WWE to WNBA, from the NHL to nearly every other sport – much like you’d find in a sports bar. We like to say we are “The Internet’s Sports Bar.”
And whether you like podcasts, forums or articles, we’ve got it covered. We even have some pretty cool merchandise to boot – though we don’t actually sell boots, yet.
“We are what they aren’t.” We aren’t ESPN, Yahoo, Deadspin or Barstool, nor do we want to be. We’re the people you want to hang out with, not the people you want to avoid! So here’s to hoping you Belly Up with us.
