Latest Episodes:

Episode 013: Rules & Regulations Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

We talk about rules we follow, rules we bend and rules we break. We also consider what guidelines serve us well.

Episode 012: Moving Day Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

Michael moves house, so we talk about the pleasures and burdens of possessions. Collections, clothing, photographs, books, art, clothes, furniture, antiques—does this list excite you or make you nervous? Probably both. We discuss why we acquire things and how hard it is to let them go.

Episode 011: The Masters Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

It’s an episode unlike any other. Yes, it’s the Masters. Coggins isn’t a golf fan and he’s obsessed it. Williams is a vanity 6-handicap, so naturally he loves it. The Masters is about tradition and vision, pimento and marketing, and, of course, Verne Lundquist. We talk about our pilgrimages to Augusta National and late-night visits to the Waffle House. This week, it’s all in play.

Central Division, a relatively safe space on the internets for Michael Williams and David Coggins. This is where we’ll have a weekly conversation about some of our favorite things. If you know us then you know that means travel, men’s clothing, drinking, and, yes, golf and fly fishing. We also like good Italian wine but have questionable taste in beer. So Central Division is where you’ll find our newsletters and podcast in one place.
