Spiders Sound OffBonus Episode: Something Smells OffA very special episode of Spiders Sound Off. While Porter’s away, Tom takes the mic solo to share a story from the summer 30 years ago that started it all—the first time he and Porter lived together in Northern Virginia. What began as daily pickup hoops turned into a full-blown mystery inside their house. A smell they couldn’t ignore. And a voicemail prank that changed everything. It’s gross. It’s ridiculous. It’s the origin story you didn’t know you needed. Plus, stick around for a new extended version of our song Spiders Sound Off to close it ou...2025-07-3107 minSpiders Sound OffEpisode 4: Practice Overreaction! Part DeuxIn this explosively average sequel, Tom and Porter return from practice with reckless confidence and fully baked takes.

Part Deux — louder, funnier, and 27% more irrational than Part One.2025-07-2820 minSpiders Sound OffEpisode 3: Eight Returners, Four Transfers, and One Backstreet BoyWe watched practice. We talked to Mooney. We debated Jermaine Bucknor vs. Mike Hodges comps. And we might have cried reading a letter from Pat Summitt. Episode 3 is all about the offseason grind, life lessons from Coach Mooney, and which transfer Spider fans should be most hyped about. Spoiler: it might be the guy from Maine, or Indiana State… or Loyola Marymount… or DePaul. They’re all pretty good.2025-07-2128 minSpiders Sound OffEpisode 2: Spiders, Settlements & ShoutoutsThis week on Spiders Sound Off, Tom and Porter go deep into the dollars — what the new NCAA settlement means for Richmond basketball and how the Spiders can raise revenue without losing their soul. They celebrate coaching news from Spider alums, rant about message board chaos, and make the case for Maggie Dugan as Virginia’s true player of the year. It's passionate, personal, and packed with Spider pride.2025-07-1425 minSpiders Sound OffEpisode 1: The Sweet 16, Syracuse, and a Suit Full of PaintIn the debut episode of Spiders Sound Off, Tom and Porter kick things off with stories from their 35-year journey as Richmond Spider basketball fans — from storming the court after a buzzer-beater against Georgia Tech to watching history unfold in the upset of Syracuse.
