  • MLB slugger MATT ADAMS lets us visit his "Big City" on this episode of The Approach Shot
    Mar 22 2026

    He made a living as a "part time" hitter that came of the bench and was the back-up first baseman for the Cardinals, Nats, Braves and Rockies.

    But MATT ADAMS' impact was far greater than a bench player. In a game against the Cincinnati Reds, Matt hit a go-ahead HR in the 14th, and when the Reds tied the game, he hit ANOTHER home run in the 16th, this time to win it.

    In Game 4 of the 2014 NLDS, Matt took Clayton Kershaw deep to secure the Game 4 victory against the Dodgers, propelling the Cards into the NL Championship.

    In 2019, in only 310 at bats, Adams hit 20 HR's, which contributed mightily to the Nationals amazing season, which culminated in them winning the World Series.

    After losing 35 pounds, Big City looks more like a small town, but his stories, and his humor are as big as ever, including some hilarious golf stories.

    MATT ADAMS makes this truly one of the most entertaining episodes yet of The Approach Shot.

  • Emmy Award winner GORDON CLAPP, best known for his role as Detective Greg Medavoy on NYPD BLUE steps behind the mic on this episode of The Approach Shot
    Mar 15 2026

    Hilarious and thoughtful, poetic yet humble, this episode with GORDON CLAPP is so much more than NYPD BLUE.

    Sure, he won an Emmy for his role as Detective Greg Medavoy, and had a cast of great actors like Dennis Franz, Jimmy Smits and so many more to work with, but Gordon seems even more comfortable on stage doing a one man show, or living his best life doing theater in his beloved New England.

    If you listen to podcasts to smile and be entertained, this episode of The Approach Shot with Gordon Clapp is a must listen.

    Mar 8 2026

    It's gooooooooooood! That goes for many of Nick's field goals and extra points. It's also true for this episode of The Approach Shot.

    The man who's been an All Pro, tied for the NFL scoring lead and led the NFL in field goal percentage the last THREE years running, also talks family, golf and what's next for the man they call "Folk Hero".

    Fingers crossed that we get to watch him on the gridiron again in 2026.

    This is a trip behind the curtain of one of the NFL's best at his position and only on The Approach Shot.
