I had the opportunity to make a guest appearance on two of my favorite podcasts in the last several months. Read below for details and links to listen.
Baseball HQ Radio with Patrick Davitt (September 16, 2022)
I discuss this a little during the interview with Patrick, but when I first started this website and was trying to immerse myself in different opinions and tactics for playing rotisserie, Baseball HQ Radio was a huge help in learning and improving. I went so far as to listen to all the old interviews as far back as my podcast player would go. I believe the format of the podcast has change slightly over the years, but the guest interviews with teachers and unique thinkers like Ron Shandler, Gene McCaffrey, Triston Cockroft, Mike Gianella, Todd Zola, and many others were helpful at forming my approach.
Even though the podcast took place while the 2022 season was still ongoing, as with much of my content, I try to keep things pretty evergreen and always relevant. We discuss a lot of strategy and fantasy baseball philosophy, along with some break down and conclusions from the 2022 season.
It was an honor to make an appearance on this show. HQ Radio is legendary and one of the longest running podcasts around.
The episode runs over three hours, but my segments all fall within the first half of the show.
PullHitter Fantasy Baseball with Rob DiPietro (January 13, 2022)
Welp. If you thought the HQ podcast was eventful, this may have topped it. Rob (2020 NFBC Draft Champions winner) lined up to have me, Jeff Zimmerman, Steve Weimer (2nd and 6th overall in 2022 NFBC Main Event), Phil Dussault (2021 NFBC Main Event, NFBC Auction Championship winner and 2021 Online Championship runner up), and Toby Guevin (multiple time NFBC Main Event and high stakes league winner). I don’t think this much NFBC success has been on one podcast before.
This conversation covered a wide range of topics and interesting discussions, ranging from The Process to how the group is handling the MLB rule changes, as well as some very interesting strategy and process discussions about topics like aggregating projections and how managers should best spend their time
I will note that I really enjoy listening to Rob’s podcast and how he takes the individual interviews with fantasy managers to the next level of depth. Some folks object to very lengthy podcasts, but I think that’s the beauty of the medium. There’s no way to uncover a lot of the details that Rob is able to by forcing an interview to fit within a tight window. The conversation here does ramble at time, but then there are some truly valuable nuggets and discussions that wouldn’t have surfaced if we had followed a more structured format.
Below you’ll find the link to the podcast as well as a snippet Rob created from some of my commentary.
