The Porch Roof Classic
A retro baseball podcast-novel in 15 or so episodes about summer dreams, anxiety, and Wiffle ball. NEW EPISODES ON WEDNESDAYS AND FRIDAYS! In 1970, way before social media existed, when imitating Willie Mays or Tony Conigliaro’s batting swing was a day’s big challenge, fourteen-year-old Joey Tosh endures a bullying attack on the final day of junior high school. With the help of his close friends and a fearless bohemian girl he meets at overnight camp, Joey learns how to cope with nemesis Danny Blight, and by the end of summer, a duel-to-the-death backyard ball game will hopefully settle all Marsh Meadow business. Come for the awkwardness, stay for the one-handed home runs!
