Adam Cheek's Sports Week
Adam Cheek carries his love of telling sports stories over from his time in radio, talking all things Richmond and national athletics each week with interviews, analysis, special guests and more -- plus some pop culture, movies and entertainment talk on occasion as well.
From years of experience covering baseball, NASCAR, collegiate hoops and everything in between, and interviewing the likes of Andre Dawson, Todd "Parney" Parnell, Cla Meredith, Bobby Dotter and others, tune in as Cheek delves into sports stories from all facets of the game.

Episode 94: The Sports Movie Showcase XI -- The Smashing Machine (2025)
Initially recorded as one cohesive episode -- but due to some technical difficulties, lost to time -- my friends Brandon Shillingford and Adam Harrell join for two segments of the latest Sports Movie Showcase.
We talk about The Smashing Machine, starring Dwayne Johnson as Mark Kerr and directed by Benny Safdie. We discuss The Rock's performance, Safdie's first directorial effort away from brother Josh, its place among wrestling/fighting movies and more.
