October 17 is the date you need to circle for the annual ‘Dollars for Dingers’ fundraiser, a crucial event supporting the National Domestic Violence Hotline, as revealed on the latest ‘A Pod of Their Own’ episode. This isn’t just about baseball; it’s about a cause that matters way beyond the diamond.
These Podcasters Are Absolutely Crushing It
Alright, let’s talk about ‘A Pod of Their Own,’ the all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast that just dropped Episode 293. These folks aren’t just here to talk Mets baseball, though they do plenty of that. They’re also diving deep into social justice issues within the sport and, crucially, making sure female voices are heard loud and clear in the sports podcasting world. This episode alone covered everything from the current playoffs, what’s up with the Phillies’ ‘darkness,’ and even debated whether the Brewers or White Sox have more divine intervention on their side. Talk about covering all the bases!
Shouting Out The Real MVPs (And Finding The Wins)
The latest episode didn’t hold back on giving props where due. They honored Sean Manaea, Howie Rose, and the Mets’ rookie class in a loaded “Mensch of the Week” segment. It’s awesome to see a podcast call out individuals and a whole rookie class for their contributions. And then, they wrapped things up with “Walk-off Wins,” where the co-hosts got personal, sharing what’s making them happy, baseball-related or not. It’s a cool way to end an episode, showing that even with all the serious talk, there’s always room for joy.
So, yeah, mark October 17 down for the ‘Dollars for Dingers’ fundraiser. It’s a huge deal. You can catch ‘A Pod of Their Own’ every single week on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
