This is the audio-only podcast of the 2012 Huffines Discussion Talks.   This week's 2012 Huffines Discussion Scholar is Dr. Noah Dean.  Dr. has built a sizable following on YouTube disproving many of the current fitness gimmicks (such as PowerBalance bracelets and Shake-Weights). This is a great podcast as Dr. Dean talks about  "Avoiding Gimmicks in Health & Fitness: Refusing to Return to the Dark Ages".

In the podcast today is Mr. Chris Field, Founder and Director of the Bryan/College Station Marathon.  We talk about how to organize and run marathons - which is often the unseen world that is so critical to having these types of events.  ALSO, I'd encourage you to listen just because of the profound reason why Chris organized this race.  It may actually touch you....check it out!

Today we are pleased to have Dr. Noah Dean from Texas Lutheran University join us in the podcast today.  Noah has made a mission of exposing and educating the public about quacks and fraudulent health products that are on the market.  This is a fun conversation and greatly needed in today's consumer society. We also talk about Noah's experience as a stuntman on Friday Night Lights.

One of the most difficult conversations we might have is how race plays a role in sport, so why not have the conversation?  Join us today as we chat with Dr. John Singer, a noted scholar on the role of race in sport.
