Effectively Wild Podcast

I always love @ewpod.bsky.social. Every year I forget how much I love @grantbrisbee.bsky.social appearing and taking the Giants preview further off the rails than usual. I'm not even a Giants fan (Rangers fan). Laughed so much during this episode!

This is the only podcast I listen to religiously. It brings me tons of laughter and joy. Ben and Meg (and other Ben and Eric and all the guests) so obviously enjoy talking baseball with each other. It's infectious. Listen to it and, if you can, support it on Patreon. You'll love it.

My only regular podcast. And I dont know why but this year felt like the year to sub to patreon.patron. Thanks to Ben, Sam, Jeff, Meg, and all the contributors over the years

A co-worker stopped by my office today and asked, “What are you listening to?”
I answered, “A baseball podcast, I do it every day.”
He asked, “About last season or next season.”
I replied, “Everything.”
That’s the best way I can describe the best podcast.

Truly, the people's baseball podcast.

A podcast I really enjoy, also they did a really interesting scripted series on Ella Black (first woman baseball writer) that was really interesting last year.

I think @ewpod.bsky.social is a good podcast, and I'm going to try to be better about promoting it. I think it's worth a listen and your Patreon dollars if you have them to spend: patreon.com/effectivelywild

Also, yesterday we contemplated the State of the Stove and the Pham of the Graphs: bsky.app/profile/fang...

In case you missed it, we did our annual Minor League Free Agent Draft, and I made a *banger* of a joke.
