A Pod of Their Own, Episode 167: At least there’s Seaver Jun 13, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.

This week, we begin with the Mets, who continue to stink and are now without Pete Alonso to boot. But at least they got a new team dog!

Next, we talk about the effect that the smog caused by the Canada wildfires had on MLB and the effect that climate change will continue to have on sports.

We also discuss the Blue Jays’ bungling of the Anthony Bass situation, a column about the all-female Portland Sea Dogs broadcast team, and the recent layoffs at The Athletic.

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Flushing Is Burning, Episode 9: Can MLB get anything right? Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Flushing is Burning, the latest addition to the Home Run Applesauce family of podcasts, hosted by Grace Carbone and Christian Romo. Flushing is Burning is a weekly podcast examining the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two.

This week, Grace and Christian look over how exactly Mets’ pitching got hot at the same time the offense got cold. There’s reason to be optimistic about this team’s World Series potential, even if the record may not indicate the same.

They also talk about comments from Anthony Bass, Clayton Kershaw, and Blake Treinen and wonder what the purpose of an ally can be in MLB. And just when June couldn’t get any worse for MLB, Lou Gehrig Day passed with even less fanfare than Pride.

Visit our Patreon for bonus episodes and to help directly support the podcasters whose work you’ve enjoyed for years, as well as unlock access to exclusive episodes, our Discord server, a monthly playlist, and more.

Social feeds are under construction! In the meantime, you can follow Grace on Twitter at @ODGuitar, and while Christian isn’t going to share his handle, he’s not difficult to find online.
