Tonight on the Front Porch, we'll talk about the ancient Greek games and the men who played them. They share some similarities to today's biggest stars, but there are definitely some differences, too. (For example, many of today's athletes actually wear clothes). Our guest is Matthew Gonzales, associate professor in the Classics department at Saint Anselm College.

We'll also talk to Taylor Chase. The 19-year old Sled Hockey player from the University of New Hampshire is heading to Torino, Italy, to play in the Winter Paralympics.
