THE FDH

LOUNGE

THE FDH LOUNGE has brought back the Great American Radio Show, albeit to Internet television. Now emanating live Wednesday nights from 7-10 PM EST  (previously on Sunday nights) on SportsTalk Network.com, THE FDH LOUNGE branches beyond the traditional FDH Enterprises, LLC-produced programming of fantasy sports and general sports content to also encompass pop culture, politics, geopolitics, 'wrasslin', general news and whatever else the Dignitaries of THE FDH LOUNGE deem worthy of their focus.  The LOUNGE prides itself on smart and entertaining roundtable discussion and interviews on more subjects than any other program anywhere would dare to tackle.  Truly, THE FDH LOUNGE is the one program for which the slogan “nothing is off-topic” applies.  In the box to the right, you can check the content of every one of THE FDH LOUNGE programs and you can access audio-only versions of the archived programs here.  THE FDH LOUNGE absorbed the previous FDH Wednesday night lineup and now THE FDH LOUNGE exists in its classic "nothing is off-topic" form from 7-9 PM EST with THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER as a "show within a show" from 9:00-9:30 PM EST and THE GOON SQUAD bringing you hockey talk from 9:30-10:00 PM EST under the same arrangement.

On August 14, 2007, The FDH Lounge Multimedia Magazine launched on the Blogger platform as a companion to the content on The FDH Lounge Internet TV program.  Click here to read the magazine's introductory statement and click here to go to the magazine's home page.  We have added a month-by-month guide to the magazine content composed by The FDH Lounge Dignitaries that has been archived on Blogger.  A complete list of the present month's content is listed on the right side of the magazine's home page.  In addition to a constant array of columns, links, audio, video and pictures, there are several permanent features on the site: a free feed subscription service, news feeds on various subjects, a poll question, sports scores, stock quotes, rotating videos, labels for past content and an ever-updating reproduction of our FDH Lounge Twitter feed.  With the exception of announcements about the program itself and any other "housekeeping matters," here is a compete list of topics covered each month of the magazine's existence (content is listed in chronological order, but appears in reverse chronological order in the archives).  Enjoy!
