Baseball Podcast
Baseball Podcast is your daily excuse to think about nothing but baseball—and to feel good about how much you know when the next big moment happens. From Opening Day to the final out of the World Series, this show is built for fans who want more than scores and hot takes. If you find yourself refreshing box scores, arguing about OPS+ versus batting average, or following prospects before they hit the majors, you’re in the right place.Each episode of Baseball Podcast zooms in on the stories that actually shape the season. You’ll get smart, clear breakdowns of the games that matter, the trends hiding in the stats, and the moves that front offices hope you don’t fully understand. We unpack everything from breakout stars and slumping veterans to trade deadline chaos, call-ups, injuries, and postseason races, explaining what’s noise and what really changes the landscape of the league.This isn’t just a recap show. Baseball Podcast blends traditional baseball talk—box scores, standings, and streaks—with modern analytics and advanced stats. You’ll hear how WAR, wRC+, pitch tunneling, defensive shifts, and Statcast data reveal things the eye test can’t always catch, and how to use those insights to understand why teams win, why they lose, and where they go next. But don’t worry, we keep the language approachable, so whether you’re an old-school fan or a stat-head, you’ll feel at home.We also look beyond the field. Baseball Podcast dives into the business and culture of the sport: big contracts, ownership decisions, rule changes, media narratives, and fan debates. When something shakes up baseball—robot umps, pitch clock tweaks, expanded playoffs, or free agency drama—our job is to walk you through what’s happening, why the league is doing it, and how it changes the game you love.You’ll hear regular segments that keep you coming back: series previews and reactions, “player of the week” spotlights, deep dives into teams on the rise or quietly collapsing, and mailbag questions straight from listeners. We’ll talk rivalries, history, and those weird, wonderful baseball quirks that only this sport can produce. Some episodes will focus on big-picture league themes, others will zero in on a single team, player, or moment and really break it down.Whether you’re a diehard fan watching 162 games a year, a fantasy baseball manager looking for an edge, or a more casual follower who wants to sound sharp in group chats and at the ballpark, Baseball Podcast is made to fit into your routine. Listen on your commute, while you’re at the gym, doing chores, or in the background during late-night west coast games. You’ll finish each episode with a clearer sense of where the season stands and what to watch for next.If you’re tired of shallow coverage and want a baseball show that respects your time and your curiosity, hit subscribe.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
