Eve of the Playoffs
00:46:33
Hey - I'm recording from indoors! Inside of 24 hours before the 2022 Dodgers' first playoff game, I lay down some tracks -- well, thoughts, anyway -- looking at the team's strengths and weaknesses and of course, all the potential fan joy and despair. We also revisit -- ideally for the final time -- the Kershaw Chart, talk about sports fan purity tests, and finally offer a quick update from the book world. Give us a listen, will ye?

Journeys

We start off by talking about the Dodgers' ridiculous start, then segue into the topic of journeys, relating to both baseball and the personal. Plus, a celebration of Melissa Villaseñor's Instagram account and an inadequate nod to the impact on me of Vin Scully.

Morning Walk
00:17:21
I decided somewhat on the spur of the moment to share some of the thoughts I had on an early morning walk (during the walk itself, so excuse the audio quality) – including why, while I love baseball, I don't particularly miss it right now. We are living in strange times, folks.

Wally Weisman
00:50:19
In this special interview, I talk to my father, born in 1935 Chicago, about his experiences as a young sports fan in the 1940s, '50s and '60s. From Bronko Nagurski to Sandy Koufax, with a little bit of Citizen Kane thrown in for good measure, there's a trove of good stories to be heard. (Bonus: The debut of the Word to the Weisman theme song, from lamekids, composed and performed by a very special member of the family.)
