Nate makes a special trip to Boston to sit down with Haley Winn of the U.S. Women’s Hockey Team following her gold medal performance at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Italy. Haley grew up in Rochester and also has strong family ties to Bainbridge, where she has spent significant time over the years. That local connection makes this moment even more meaningful. She played a major role on the blue line for Team USA during the tournament, recording one goal, three assists, and a +11 rating. After a decorated Division-I career at Clarkson University, Haley was drafted second overall by the Boston Fleet in the 2025 Professional Women’s Hockey League Draft. This special presentation is broken into three parts: Nate’s introduction, a press conference with Haley and the media, and an exclusive one-on-one sit-down with Nate. Thank you to the Fleet for hosting this event at the Boston Sports Institute. Thanks to Haley’s family for their support and assistance. Mixing by Robert Child.

Nate is joined by Rob Joy inside the Morris Central School Auditorium, along with co-host Rich Turnbull. Rob was back in town as his Morris Boys Basketball career scoring record of 1,251 points was being surpassed by current senior Ryan Murphy, giving the guys a perfect reason to sit down and reflect. They look back on Rob’s memorable career in the late 1980s, including the start of the MCS Express, a 19-game winning streak, and a heated rivalry with New Berlin. Rob also shares his path to playing Division-I at Bucknell as a walk-on and reflects on where life has taken him since. Now living in Cincinnati, it was great to catch up while he was home for a short time.

The Nate Lull Podcast presents: The Story of Slow Joe Doyle. Nate and co-host Rich Turnbull uncover the story of a Major League Baseball pitcher from the early 1900s whose journey eventually brought him right to our own backyard. In this special edition, the guys explore the life and legacy of “Slow Joe” Doyle, known for his deliberate pace on the mound during baseball’s early days. From his time in the big leagues to the famous baseball card mix-up that made his name legendary among collectors, the conversation transports listeners to a different era of the game. It also looks at Doyle’s life after baseball and how he eventually settled in Tannersville, New York, in the eastern part of Section IV. Special thanks for this project goes to Rich Turnbull for his research and baseball card collecting knowledge. Thank you to Brackon Banks for his talented voice work in the opening. Appreciation also goes to Dede Terns-Thorpe, local historian in Hunter and Tannersville, for her research and assistance, and to H-T Coach Chris Glennon for helping connect the final pieces.
