Flushing is Burning, Episode 22: We're (I'm) Back Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

It's been so long since we've talked Mets, they got a new POBO! Grace, in her first solo show, discusses David Stearns' hiring, potential moves he could make, and the expectations fans should have/temper. Then, a little 2023 Mets discussion, but how much is there really to say at this point?

Then, Grace goes over all the general baseball news the show missed! The Padres have internal beef! Where does it start, where does it end, who's responsible and for how much? The Angels have drama with all their star players and are on track to have a franchise-defining offseason. And there's a serious discussion of Julio Urias and the privilege of a major league career not being a right for those who commit crimes.

Finally, a brief Mike Trout trade thought discussion, and Grace's movie minute that really burns down the house (wink wink).

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 181: Your finest Las Vegas wine Sep 26, 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 by talking a little bit about the Mets, but mostly getting excited for Dollars for Dingers, which is on Saturday at 4:00pm at Ebbs at Citi Field. If you are unable to make it in person, you can purchase raffle tickets online for a Starling Marte signed baseball or a Home Run Apple neon from Athlete Logos until 11:59pm on Friday night.

In our baseball segment this week, we talk about the challenge to MLB’s antitrust exemption currently before the Supreme Court. We also talk about the A’s giving Miguel Cabrera—a recovering alcoholic—a cheap bottle of wine as a retirement gift. We also shout out this incredible piece from Sam Blum of The Athletic about the tragic story of Angels prospect Zac Kristofak’s family.

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 21: TTFN, LFGM Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

Christian got a new job! And it’s a really cool one! But unfortunately, that means that his involvement with Flushing Is Burning must come to an indefinite halt.

But that doesn’t mean the show is over! Christian and Grace finish their last show together this year talking about fandom, the responsibilities of an impartial sports media, and supporting teams thousands of miles away from where they live. It’s not all about the Mets, but then again, it is always about the Mets, isn’t it?

Grace will continue the podcast as a solo host next week as the show evolves in a new direction. Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingIsBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com.
