The Field of Play is back for another season (or semester) of sports talk. Alex and Travis brought you an award-winning show last semester — one that covered everything from the demise of Shea Stadium to Quinnipiac athletics to the World Series to Sarah Palin.

You may remember the marathon show that ended last season during QU finals week (how could you forget, really?). Alex and Travis spent 12 hours straight in the studio, and towards the end of the broadcast they were joined by Joe Pelletier and Robin Schuppert. With Alex and Travis exhausted from the unrelenting pressure of continuous live radio, Joe and Robin carried the show and earned themselves a permanent spot on the airwaves for their efforts.

So now with two new hosts joining the fray, the foursome teams up to bring you sports talk from the perspective of America’s greatest sports cities.

Joe, from Boston, brings that winning attitude and his love for Beantown sports. Robin, a California native, brings a West Coast perspective to the airwaves. And, as you know, Travis and Alex represent Philadelphia and New York, two of the most rabid fanbases in the country. Travis will not be in studio for most of the semester, but through the powers of the 21st century, the show will go on unhindered.

Last season, The Field of Play aired from 11 to Noon on Monday’s. The show moves to Sunday afternoons now from 4 to 5 PM. *cue The Jeffersons theme* The enhanced cast kicked off the new season this past Sunday, discussing a wide range of topics — everything from Sean Avery to A-Roid to the NBA All-Star Game to the Boston Bruins.

The archived show is embedded at the top of this post, so if you missed out yesterday, you can catch all of action right here. Tune in next week though or we’ll hunt you down. Winning awards means you get power, ya know.
