It’s the third episode of a super awesome podcast featuring me and Sahadev Sharma. You can listen to the podcast there below, or download it for later listening. Eventually it’ll be on iTunes so you can just subscribe. Hopefully that’ll be in place by this time next week. (Yes, that’s what I said last week. But this time it should really, truly, hopefully be true.)
As always, you can send questions, comments, etc. to the official podcast email address (podcast AT bleachernation DOT com) if you want your thoughts included on a future show. Make sure you include your name and city, and all that usual stuff.
On this week’s episode, we get way too comfortable in sharing, bust out some awkward GM Meeting moments (hooray, we did a radio bit!), and dig into the opening chapter of the Brett Taylor Story. We also reveal the name of the show, which finds its roots in the fact that we had so much trouble coming up with a name right now.
Oh, we also talk about quite a bit of baseball, including prospect thoughts in light of BP’s top 10 list, the naming rights at Wrigley Field, and the attractiveness of free agents Brandon McCarthy and B.J. Upton.

Seriously? We actually have to *listen* to find out the name of the podcast? Jeeeeez…
That’s half the fun. Naw, but seriously, it’s the first thing Sahadev says (and then we discuss how we landed on it a little later).
So sad it’s not named Tidrow’s Stashe
Sorry, dude …
That’s some sweet intro music…
True story: my brother is a formerly semi-professional musician, and that’s a tiny piece of one of his songs. I heard it and thought it made for a perfect podcast intro (without the headache of licensing issues).
Your kids coming out of a chute?
So to speak.
Too bad you found a name. I think “Out of the Chute” would have been a fantastic name!
Two guys sit around and shoot the chute.
All Things Considered is NPR’s afternoon show, Ace.
So I was right. Is it classy?
You were rightish. But “classy”? If you’re of the NPR-is-for-snobs ilk, perhaps you would call it that. It’s a quality news program.
That’s easily a 65-70 podcast name.
I’d totally take that.
So starting next week we have to pay for the podcast?
Do you have to pay for any podcasts on iTunes? (Serious question)
No way. It’ll just be available on iTunes to folks who prefer that route.
Most are free, some are paid.
How about “Marshall Field” for the new name? Can change it to ” Macy Field” later, if the price is right …
Love Love Love the podcast. Very enjoyable.
Maybe it’s just me and my imaturity that I thought I lost when I graduated from college, but does the picture used for the podcasts slightly resemble a phallic symbol? The headphones hanging down add some additional detail giving the look of an entire package. Thoughts?

What’s the podcast email? If I want to email in thoughts, comments or questions?
If you’re for realsies, it’s podcast AT bleachernation DOT com.
Apparently someone doesn’t listen to the podcast.
I do, hence my knowing such an email exists, but I didn’t want to re-listen to find out what the address was. I did find it though ((podcast AT bleachernation DOT com). The reason I didn’t see it at first glance is that I was looking for an @ – spelling the address out in words just doesn’t stand out. Thanks though.
oh, ya, epic fail by me. I originally intended to include the email in the reply there…my bad.
No problem. i read comments enough to know you meant no ill intent
