Reality Check With Alex Gould

Here is the first part of my radio show in honor of the rapidly rising rapper NF, whose concert I will be attending later this month! Due to copyright concerns with music played, I may not be able to post the second part but will certainly see what I can do. Hope you all enjoy this snippet of my show from the week.

Jacob Berlinger, who also co-hosts The Huddle and The Rant with me,  guest hosts Reality Check today for the first time in what feels like far too long to discuss the 2017 year in terms of movies on topics ranging from sequels lowering the quality of films to our favorite pictures of the year! 

After bringing on guests for many shows in a row, it's about time for me to take on a solo show once again! In this one, I preview the upcoming college football bowl games and provide some brief analysis on the Heisman Trophy results. And be warned...I get VERY passionate during this hour, so I hope you enjoy!

In honor of Revival, Eminem's new album releasing this Friday, Jack St. John comes on Reality Check to discuss album rumors and the two released songs from it thus far, along with some Eminem trivia I tried to trip him up on. Hope you enjoy the show and that the new album can live up to all the hype surrounding it!

In today's radio show, Austin Klapman, a D1 tennis commit to Monmouth University, joins me for an interview about his tennis journey and future as an NCAA athlete at Monmouth, along with a discussion about what's occurring right now on the ATP Tour/our predictions for the 2018 season.

For my first solo show in about two months, I am very excited to share with you a topic I'm very passionate about: the issues endemic to fantasy football. Brace yourself for a detailed rant that will last for the majority of the show, but during some extra time towards the end of the show, I also paired the aforementioned aspect with my top 12 fantasy redraft. Hope you enjoy!

Daniel Chung, Michael Ocasek, and Dana Sullivan all join me today at the midpoint of the NFL season to discuss fantasy football's first half, along with our predictions for the second half. Disclaimer: Many bold predictions have been made, so brace yourself for some shocking selections for disappointments, breakouts, and expectations for the remainder of the year. Hope you all enjoy!

Hectic? Maybe slightly. Disjointed? Possibly a little. However, six rotating co-hosts and I all had a GREAT time on radio for a Halloween Special! What's even more exciting is that our radio show took place during our school's community trick-or-treat, so lots of interviews with very young trick-or-treaters took place! Hopefully you all enjoy that, along with discussions of personal Halloween stories with Daniel/Eddie and a fun Halloween trivia game for Jenna/Sam. I know this was a complicated show to run, so thank you very very much to all 6 of my fellow co-hosts today to help make this show run smoothly!

Joshua Yang and Sammy Bellman join me today to discuss current events, including issues such as gun control, partisan divides, and to take part in a game I created entitled "Fact or Fiction." I hope you all enjoy this week's very relevant show!

In a 2017-18 NBA season preview, Jack Ulrich joins me for an energetic, light-hearted discussion of our power rankings (teams #1-30) for the upcoming season.

In our most special radio show yet, NICK ROACH, former starting Linebacker for the Bears and Raiders, joins my fellow co-hosts of The Huddle (Jacob Berlinger and Noah Lofman) and me. The three of us had the privilege of interviewing him to learn about his career and gain an insider's perspective on many issues in football we previously discussed. Please do enjoy this incredibly special show and WGBK first of landing a former professional athlete! On behalf of Noah and Jacob, we can't express our gratitude to you, Mr. Roach, for agreeing to come on our show, and thank you very much for being an even better guest than we could have asked for!

David Rubin joins me today to make our MLB Playoff Predictions and quarter-season NFL roundup!

Noah Lofman and Eli Shapiro join me once again for a politics roundtable! In this show, we take part in "Guess Who Tweeted It: Kanye West or Donald Trump" and discuss national political issues, along with a questionable, possibly politically-fueled, decision made by a higher-up in our school. Enjoy!

In my second show of senior year, I decided to pursue an all new topic I've never talked about before: the issues surrounding the media today. I divided this hour on air into two parts with one centering around news media and the other being sports media. Although I was a bit nervous at first, this truly ended up to be one of my best shows since, rather than addressing the oft-discussed issues (such as bias), I decided to delve into lesser known, yet still very prevalent, issues. I hope you can enjoy, be entertained, and even learn a little bit from this very dear to me episode of Reality Check!

I'm going solo in the first show of my senior year, which I use to discuss the 2017 fantasy football landscape. Enjoy my Top 15 Players for the season, along with my sleepers and busts!

Here is the 2nd Summer Special Podcast heading your way even though school isn't in session. This week Aaron Berkowitz and Isaac Weinberg joined me to have a lengthy discussion regarding the NBA and NFL. Hope you enjoy!

There may be no school radio station available in the summer, but Noah Lofman and I still decided to sit down and have a summer special podcast all about the NBA Offseason. Hope you all enjoy our in depth discussion!

In the final show of my junior year, my older cousin, Devin Reisman, is back home from college and talks NBA with me! In this podcast, we cover our NBA Finals opinions/predictions and select our winners for the primary NBA awards in anticipation of the awards show on June 26th. Hope you enjoy my final podcast before my few month hiatus, and I'll see all of you back here for my senior year!

In the penultimate radio show of my junior year, Aaron Berkowitz joins me to discuss the biggest moves of the NFL Offseason, along with MLB predictions that are particularly targeted towards what's been going on with our slumping hometown Chicago Cubs! P.S. Our recording device briefly stopped working at around the 23 minute mark on the show, so my apologies for the random jump from Running Back to Wide Receiver talk.

My fellow co-host of The Huddle, Noah Lofman, and Mason Rose, join me to discuss current NBA news including 2017 NBA draft analysis, predictions for the NBA Finals, and a discussion of the legacy of LeBron James.
