In this episode of Curious Crossroads, we sit down with author Thomas L. Pelissero to talk about one of the most unbelievable stories in high school basketball history.

Pelissero’s book Bring One Home tells the powerful story of the Bessemer Speedboys, a small-town basketball team that endured an astonishing 42-game losing streak in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula during the 1960s.

Imagine a dog shivering in the rain, warmth just beyond a door it can't open. What if we're the same—untapped energy, wisdom, and connection inches away, but we lack the understanding to access them? Sometimes, everything we seek is already within reach.
