• A’s Superfan Network: Cubs 9, Giants 2

  The A’s Superfan Network went on the road to San Francisco for the annual Giants-Cubs game and podcast. Will Carter co-hosted and ended up in a homeless shelter at three in the morning. (Quite the story.) Special Guests: B.H. Bronson Johnson and Carlo Quinonez.

• A’s Superfan Network: Phillies 4, A’s 0

  The A’s Superfan Network was on-air during last Wednesday’s much-hyped A’s / Phillies game in Oakland, a heated rivalry that goes back decades. Will Carter co-hosted. Special Guests: Aly Roth and Dev Millstein. And here’s a view from the perch where the podcast was conducted… $2 tickets and $1 hot dogs; bring the family.

• Superfan Interview

  A photo of an in-game interview during the most recent A’s Superfan Network podcast… These are the four things I like about this photograph… 1. Technology. I am podcasting effortlessly from the upper-deck of a decades-old stadium. With ease. I’m using my cellphone, and it works effortlessly. Thank you, Cisco, you started all of this. [...]

• A’s Superfan Network: Blue Jays 2, A’s 1

  The A’s Superfan Network returned to air during last Wednesday’s A’s / Blue Jays game in Oakland. The only thing that was not dull about the 2-1 game… was the podcast (co-hosted with Will Carter). Special Guests: Aly Roth and Rhys Jones.

• Another Conversation With My Dad

  I sat down with my father for a half-hour of podcasting two weeks ago (on Valentine’s Day) and I have finally got around to posting (it required some effort in post-production, but not enough to delay it this long). During our previous podcast, my father and I avoided the issue of the Iraq war, albeit [...]

• A’s Superfan Network: California 20, Washington State 17

  Last weekend, the A’s Superfan Network made an attempt of broadcasting a college football game in Berkeley at the Cal-WaSU game. My alma mater ended up holding off the Cougars in not-so exciting fashion. The level of difficulty in broadcasting between baseball and football is stark and steep. In baseball, one can sit back and [...]

• Warranted Protection

  I got one of those calls from my credit card company (Chase) this past Saturday — on a weekend — where they offer to “protect” me from harm for a nominal monthly fee. My pet issue has always been banking reform — even with DailyKos transvestites — and that is the one issue that will [...]

• Podcast by Phone

  I will be podcasting by phone, or I think I will make an attempt to, during my trip to the east coast. If (and when) I do, this widget will update itself with the latest phonecast. Hopefully I will have something valuable to say.

• A’s Superfan Network: Cubs 4, Giants 2

  Last Wednesday evening, the A’s Superfan Network went on the road to San Francisco for an annual Giants-Cubs game tradition. The Chicago Cubs ended up beating the Giants in ten innings, 4-2, and along the way, there was way too much drinking… Special Guests: Jesus Espinoza, B.H. Bronson Johnson and Brooks Ramsdell.

• Blogging Live from San Francisco

  I’m in San Francisco for a classic Cubs-Giants game. Barry Bonds will not be going for the record, but the A’s Superfan Network will be podcasting on the road. And there’ll be drinking. Game-time: 7:15pm.

• A’s Superfan Network: Giants 4, Blue Jays 3

  On Monday evening, I was the gracious guest (again) of Tour for the Cure as they travel across the country to every baseball stadium. Last week, I went to the Oakland A’s game, and on Monday, it was the fancy San Francisco Giants, at their wondrous ballpark… The highlight of the game came when Barry [...]

• A’s Superfan Network: A’s 5, Red Sox 4

  A week ago the A’s Superfan Network podcasted the A’s incredible 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Eric Chavez ended the game in the bottom-half of the eleventh inning on a walk-off solo home run (which was podcasted live, listen to final chapter). The crew from Tour for the Cure, Tim Riley and Chris [...]

• A Conversation With Tim Riley, Part 3

  The final part of my conversation with Tim Riley (of Tour for the Cure) involved a discussion on the role of the pharmaceutical industry in today’s health care crisis (or what can and should be construed as a “crisis;” I don’t think anyone would object to using that term). Tim had somewhat off-handedly mentioned a [...]

• A’s Superfan Network: A’s 3, Red Sox 2

  The podcast from last night’s A’s game is now available. The gem of this set is when BHBJ, a friend of mine, takes over (the “BHBJ takes over” chapter) and interviews a couple people sitting behind us. (One of the interviewees turned out to be “gop boy,” who happens to be in the Air Force, [...]

• A Conversation With Tim Riley, Part 2

  This second part (of three) of my conversation with Tour for the Cure’s Tim Riley continues with more baseball talk and discussion of Tim’s future plans. (In the last chapter of this part, “Ronald McDonald,” Tim refers to a so-called pharmaceutical “conspiracy theory,” which will spur a debate on the subject in the coming part [...]

• A Conversation With Tim Riley, Part 1

  Last night I sat down with my houseguest, Tim Riley of Tour for the Cure, and podcasted. Tour for the Cure is an effort to raise money for the Jimmy Fund. Tim and his partner, Chris Richards, who is also our houseguest, are traveling the country visiting all 189 baseball parks to raise money for [...]

• A Conversation With My Dad

  There was no better way to commence the new podcast portion of this blog than with a half-hour conversation with my father, a police chief who has been in law enforcement for over thirty-five years. After a shaky beginning (and I apologize, in advance, for my lingering-style of questioning — I’m new at this), I [...]

• A Message for the American People

  I recently purchased a fancy new microphone for podcasting so I thought I’d try it out… I understand this may be a bit disturbing, but it’s the one side of my humor that I cannot readily use, so what the hell, why not publish it to a political blog. A message for the American people… [...]

• A’s Superfan Network Podcast

  At the last A’s game I went to for the season, right before I left for my wedding and subsequent honeymoon, I podcasted live from the A’s stadium, and the following is a compilation of the best* moments (edited down from over 45 minutes of broadcast), including Nick Swisher’s home run (track 4), Frank Thomas’ [...]

• The A’s Superfan Network Will Return Shortly

  They say baseball is a metaphor for life. And if that is not what “they” say, then I’m saying it. I was in attendance for my last A’s game of the season this past Tuesday (the A’s lost 5-4 to the Rangers). I went to the game with a few buddies of mine and I [...]
