Good baseball podcasts?

41Forever Feb 09 2020 09:20 AM

Do you guys listen to any good baseball podcasts? I've been listening to the ESPN Baseball Tonight podcast with Buster Olney because there isn't much out there, but it's very much an ESPN product and everything that goes with that. I've tried Mike Silva's Talkin' Mets podcast. Like with a lot of one-host podcasts, there's a lot of pontificating and self-congratulating and not a lot of substance. It's been adequate for January, but I rarely make it to the end of an episode. Shea Anything from SNY with Tracky and Doug Williams is a good listen, but hasn't posted anything since the winter meetings. Hopefully it will start up again soon. I recently discovered Jay Horwitz's alumni interviews, and those are fun. What do you guys listen to?

kcmets Feb 09 2020 10:04 AM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

Just wondering, am I the only one who can't remember the last time they listened to a podcast (and I'm not entirely sure I ever listened to one)?

G-Fafif Feb 09 2020 11:16 AM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

SABRcast with Rob Neyer (in-depth interviews with highish-profile guests). Baseball by the Book (baseball books). Good Seats Still Available (defunct sports teams & leagues; some baseball). The Metrospective if you're an Athletic subscriber, hosted by Pete McCarthy and Tim Britton, for what's going on at the moment. A Metsian Podcast with Sam Maxwell, Mike Lecolant and Rich Sparago (I'm on now and then). Baseball and BBQ with Jeff Cohen and Leonard Aberman, a pair of Mets fans. Mets Musings with Gary McDonald, a refreshing non-blowhard. The Press Box: the nexus of media and sports, entertainment and politics, hosted by the exquisite Ringer writer Bryan Curtis and his pal David Shoemaker. Not a ton of baseball.

41Forever Feb 09 2020 11:55 AM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

Those sound good and I'll check them out! I did find one called Talkin' Baseball MLB Podcast from something called JOMBOY Media which talks to actual players and is interesting.

Ceetar Feb 09 2020 12:17 PM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

effectively wild, it's league-wide but it's good. THe alumni ones seem fun, I haven't gotten there. A Pod Of Their Own from Amazin' Avenue is sometimes pretty good. I'm not a fan of most of the other Mets ones. =kcmets post_id=31315 time=1581267849 user_id=53] Just wondering, am I the only one who can't remember the last time they listened to a podcast (and I'm not entirely sure I ever listened to one)?

I think there's a thread for cranks in the NB forum. This one's about baseball podcasts.

kcmets Feb 09 2020 12:44 PM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

It's a fair and appropriate question. Let's see if anyone else is a non-pod before judging me. And btw, you're often one of the crankiest here, so if you're calling me a crank I'm humbly flattered.

It's litearlly a thread about podcasts with replies suggesting podcasts! I only respond to only 1/50 nonsense music posts with "I don't listen to music" And those are only usually because someone labeled them absurdly and I didn't realize.

And literally for two decades threads here occasionally (like 10,000 times) don't

have responses that are not of the blinders-only-stick-to-the-question-at-hand variety.



Again, it's a fair and appropriate question. Let's see if anyone else is a non-pod

Benjamin Grimm Feb 09 2020 03:09 PM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

I've listened to one and a half podcasts

seawolf17 Feb 09 2020 03:36 PM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

The only baseball podcast I spend any real time with is Rain Delay Theater, where Gelbs and Wayne interview Mets players, past and present. There have been some incredible gems there: Wilmer, Howie Rose, and McNeil come to mind immediately.

Just wondering, am I the only one who can't remember the last time they listened to a podcast (and I'm not entirely sure I ever listened to one)? Like you, I had not listened to many -- until I had that hour-long commute to Lansing. I read about the Washington Post's "Presidential" and "The West Wing Weekly" and started listening and started really enjoying the format. There's a Kiss one that us usually about two hours long, so I'd listen to half on the way in and half on the way home. I really liked one by Steve Hofstetter where he talked to older players, guys who weren't stars, like Ed Hern. But he seems to have disappeared. I find them engaging, kind of like listening to the radio, but on a topic you really like and usually going in-depth. I liked them so much that I developed one for work. We're only about five episodes in, but it's going well, a lot of fun and allows us another way to tell a story. Give some podcasts a try!

Ceetar Feb 09 2020 05:52 PM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

I "know" what I'm doing, were someone wanting to do a CPF Mets podcast, clearly from Steve's list there's a dearth. You can scratch off 'we gotta believe' from that list though, since that's Barstool and hence hateful misogynistic garbage.

I'm also supposed to be podcasting for work, but doing that in addition to all the other stuff I do is a PITA. That said there is a white space in podcast land for the kind of thing I do, and they just got me a cool mic, so maybe. I'd be happy to be a guest or host of a Mets thing but tbh that'd be a little spitting into the wind, considering any mom's-basement butthead can start a podcast. At one time, there was a billion Mets blogs too but most of those are dead today as writing is probably more difficult than talking.

Or at least, good speaking. You could take time to craft and mold your writing. You could spend hours writing something that takes a few minutes to read. Or days. Or years. But speaking is in real time and on the fly. I think that the smartest people speak better than most people write.

Johnny Lunchbucket Feb 09 2020 07:03 PM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

That's probably true too

G-Fafif Feb 09 2020 07:35 PM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

Much like the blogs back in the day that didn't take their cues from what they read in newspapers (publishing series previews as if you couldn't figure out the Mets were playing the Cardinals tonight), the Mets podcasts I find most palatable are the ones that aren't under the impression that they have to be latter-day Mike and/or the Mad Dog. I've been America's Guest on many of them. I'm happy to be asked and go where the hosts want, but I've never understand the point of "let's talk about shortstop depth" for the umpteenth time.

Fman99 Feb 09 2020 07:56 PM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

I can't listen to podcasts. I just wish everyone around me would shut up all the time. Lord knows why I'd want them all in my ear on headphones.

One guy says something, 456 repeat it and maybe another 100 attempt to repeat it in their own words. Not that this is different with podcasts than say, Joe Buck saying something and every ESPN/talk show weighing in, but still. Props to Amazin' Avenue's A Pod Of Their Own for that, mostly having a different take/angle/discussion. My 'idea' would be more of a Barley Prose podcast where we talk beer and pair it with baseball. "This Triple IPA is huge, hoppy, and in your face. It really packs a wallop, much like Yoenis Cespedes' 3 HR game last night!"

Johnny Lunchbucket Feb 09 2020 09:25 PM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

Yes you need a perspective that's unique and an audience who appreciates that uniqueness

bmfc1 Feb 10 2020 05:57 AM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

Whatever the subject, can we keep the podcast to an hour or less? I enjoy the work of Dax Sheppard but I do not need 1:40 of Josh Gad or 2 hours of Claire Danes. An hour is enough and that's why "WTF" and "Conan Needs A Friend" are good. This applies to the Mets as well. The Athletic's Mets pod, as mentioned by G-Fafif, is only a half-hour and that's enough. Organize your thoughts, tell us your feelings about the SS Depth, and get off the phone inside of an hour.

Two hours with Claire Danes has been a dream of mine since college.

Well, it's 32 years, which is bracket-friendly. Other than that, I don't see anything. It's ALMOST but not quite the first 32 years of the DH.

Long ago enough so as to be nostalgic, not so ancient to elude contemporary ears.

Josh Lewin was born in 1968. Maybe 1974 is the first year he remembers.

Seawolf, Ceetar and I have done them all and ABNS has been on one as well. We've been recording them on Wednesdays and releasing them on Thursdays, it's about 80/20 Mets/Beer talk at this point but so far it's been fun to make. We keep it short, too, 30 minutes once Ceetar polishes and edits them. Link here for Apple folks, here for Google Podcast users, or here for RSS geeks. We also send out a Tweet each week so you can get them that way as well.

Willets Point Apr 13 2021 06:39 AM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

I've listened to it and it's good! My only problem is that I don't know which voice belongs to which person.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 13 2021 07:03 AM Re: Good baseball podcasts?

I listened to one, it's got potential as it combines 2 things I likel. One suggestion I'd make is to spend at least a few seconds up front on a composed intro/"lede" letting listeners know what they're in for. You can record this bit afterward and tack it on the front. "Today we're going to discuss stouts, and shortstops..." or whatever...

I'm waiting for any of these more musically inclined folks to give us a little jingle lede! I have been adding to it a bit, ". A podcast from BarleyProse.com talking about beer and Mets baseball and anything else that comes up." which admittedly is pretty vague. The show notes do typically narrow it down. Thanks for the bump Steve, and thanks for the Citi Field beer detes, that I may rant about a bit tomorrow.

=Fman99 post_id=31359 time=1581303407 user_id=86] I can't listen to podcasts. I just wish everyone around me would shut up all the time. Lord knows why I'd want them all in my ear on headphones.

I love how this one aged.
