Welcome to our series coverage of HBO’s Emmy Winning Series, Hard Knocks: The Miami Dolphins. Join us week to week on the Story Archives Podcast as we discuss the all-access coverage of the Miami Dolphins over the second half of the 2023 NFL season. In episode one, the Dolphins have just returned from their BYE week after a difficult loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Germany. The stage is set and the characters are introduced, led by a newly married and rejuvenated Tyreek Hill as he stays on pace to make NFL history as the only wide receiver to achieve 2,000 receiving yards in a single season. We also get a new look of Tua with cornrows as he seeks to continue smashing the narratives surrounding the team. Lastly, we get an insider look at Mike Mcdaniel’s genius approach to leading his team towards victory.
“Hard Knocks is a reality sports documentary television series produced by NFL Films and HBO. First broadcast in 2001, the show typically follows a National Football League (NFL) team through its training camp and covers the team's preparation for the upcoming football season. Beginning in 2021, the show has also dedicated an additional season of television to following an additional team throughout the NFL regular season.
The series depicts the personal and professional lives of players, coaches, and staff, including their family life, position battles, and even inside jokes and pranks.
The NFL and HBO have called Hard Knocks "the first sports-based reality series" in television history.”

Welcome to our series coverage of For All Mankind (on Apple TV+) by Story Archives. Join us week to week as we cover the hit Apple TV Plus show and it’s interesting retelling of how history would have unraveled had the space race never ended. In episode two of season four titled, ‘Have a nice Sol’, Danielle and Miles have arrived on Mars to two very different realities. While the higher-ranking officials up top live more comfortable lives in Happy Valley Base, those below like Miles, are met with harsh living conditions. Luckily for them, it seems Danielle is going to make things better. Meanwhile on Earth, Aleida teams up with Kelly Baldwin in an effort to continue pushing forward Kelly’s research outside of Nasa. Lastly, Margo gets a harsh dose of Soviet reality.
For All Mankind is an American science fiction drama television series created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi and produced for Apple TV+. The series dramatizes an alternate history depicting "what would have happened if the global space race had never ended" after the Soviet Union succeeds in the first crewed Moon landing ahead of the United States. The title is inspired by the lunar plaque left on the Moon by the crew of Apollo 11, which reads, in part, "We Came in Peace for All Mankind".
