PAST EVENTS
MAY 2025
The Burn It All Down crew headed north of the border to Shireen, headlining the North American Society for Sports History’s annual conference in Gatineau, Canada. BIAD recorded a live episode about sports in a moment of upheaval and then took questions from the audience.
MARCH 2025
Burn It All Down was the opening night keynote at the Social Justice through Sport and Exercise Psychology Symposium at Bowling Green University in Ohio. It had been a long time since the gang had been together and recorded an episode so BIAD discussed sports at, what felt like, the end of the world. Listen to the episode and the subsequent Q+A.
October 2022
To help inaugurate the new Minor in Sport, Media, and Culture at the University of Notre Dame, Burn It All Down recorded a live episode on the topic of protecting labor in sport, with a Q&A session at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Centre in South Bend, Indiana.

Our friends down in Nashville at Vanderbilt are helping to bring BIAD to the Shift conference, co-sponsored by the YWCA. It's going to be a healthy conversation about domestic violence, sexual assault, masculinity, and steps forward. Find us at the Nashville Music City Center on Monday, September 9th at 10 A.M. Flamethrowers in the area, we would love to see you out there for another live recording. If you can’t make the conference we’re going to have a meet-up with flamethrowers afterwards on Sept 9th at 5:30PM at Bonga Java’s (250 Fifth Avenue South Nashville, inside the OMNI hotel.) See you there!
