In the sixth episode of OnMilwaukee's podcast, the Postgame Tailgate, sickly sports editor Jimmy Carlton and supportive pop culture editor Matt Mueller discuss the Packers' loss to the Titans, their third straight defeat, and whether Green Bay's season is slowly killing its fans (or just Jimmy). They also talk about the continued impressive play of the Wisconsin Badgers, and Matt reviews and previews new movies like "Arrival" and "Fantastic Beasts."

Before all that, they briefly address the major national news of last week's election, including how those who want to help make a difference can contribute, sports and pop culture as escapism and just the notion of people being good to each other and in this thing together. 

Tune in, tell us what you think on social media (on Twitter, @jimmycarlton88 and @aManAbout Film, as well as @OnMilwaukee on Facebook and Instagram, too) and make sure to subscribe to the Postgame Tailgate podcast on OnMilwaukee's Soundcloud station so you never miss an episode.

Born in Milwaukee but a product of Shorewood High School (go ‘Hounds!) and Northwestern University (go ‘Cats!), Jimmy never knew the schoolboy bliss of cheering for a winning football, basketball or baseball team. So he ditched being a fan in order to cover sports professionally - occasionally objectively, always passionately. He's lived in Chicago, New York and Dallas, but now resides again in his beloved Brew City and is an ardent attacker of the notorious Milwaukee Inferiority Complex.

After interning at print publications like Birds and Blooms (official motto: "America's #1 backyard birding and gardening magazine!"), Sports Illustrated (unofficial motto: "Subscribe and save up to 90% off the cover price!") and The Dallas Morning News (a newspaper!), Jimmy worked for web outlets like CBSSports.com, where he was a Packers beat reporter, and FOX Sports Wisconsin, where he managed digital content. He's a proponent and frequent user of em dashes, parenthetical asides, descriptive appositives and, really, anything that makes his sentences longer and more needlessly complex.

Jimmy appreciates references to late '90s Brewers and Bucks players and is the curator of the unofficial John Jaha Hall of Fame. He also enjoys running, biking and soccer, but isn't too annoying about them. He writes about sports - both mainstream and unconventional - and non-sports, including history, music, food, art and even golf (just kidding!), and welcomes reader suggestions for off-the-beaten-path story ideas.
