Conversations with C70

In 2011, I branched out from my regular role on shows like Gateway To Baseball Heaven and the UCB Radio Hour to start my own podcast.  Conversations With C70 is my attempt at an interview show, where I talk to other bloggers (mainly, though other guests will likely stop by as well) about their background, their blogging, and their team.  You can listen to the show online via the player on the right side of the front page of the blog or at Podomatic, or you can download and/or subscribe to it at iTunes.  Also during the show, you will find commercials from other bloggers in the natural gaps.  I've linked to them here so you can quickly find their blog.  Feedback is always welcome!

(NOTE: Due to the limitations of Podomatic's storage, I will roll off episodes as I add new ones.  I will move those files to my Box.net storage and link to them below as well.)

Guest: Matt Whitener, St. Louis Sports 360

One of our newest UCB members, Matt has a couple of different blogs that he maintains.  We talk about him growing up in St. Louis, how he got the writing bug, and his thoughts about this past offseason.

Guest: Matthew Leach, MLB.com

As he closes his tenure as the Cardinals' beat writer and moves on to a national gig, Matthew Leach looks back at his time in St. Louis and relives some memories, while also giving his take about the changes that have gone on in St. Louis and what 2012 might hold for the club.

Guest: Jamie Pogue, Cardinals bullpen catcher

When a friend of mine texted me in December to let me know his friend had gotten the job as the Cards' bullpen catcher, I knew it was only a matter of time before I was able to get to talk to him.  Jamie Pogue takes over out in the bullpen, but he's going to be doing more than just warming up pitchers.  We talk about his background and what's coming up for him in this new St. Louis regime.

Guest: PJ Walters, former Cardinal pitcher

In a break from our usual format, I got the chance to sit down and talk to PJ about coming up through the Cardinal organization, what it was like to make his major league debut, and how he felt about being traded to Toronto and then seeing the Cards win it all.  Also, I give my oral thoughts about Albert Pujols moving on to Anaheim.

Guest: Mike Metzger (Padres Trail)

Just like Tony La Russa, Mike decides to go out on a high note, shutting down Stan Musial's Stance after five years to concentrate on the local nine.  That doesn't mean he doesn't have opinions about the Cardinals, though, and we talk about the offseason and the current managerial search among other topics.

Guest: Josh Gilliam (Pitchers Hit Eighth)

World Champions!  It just doesn't seem possible.  The Cardinals were left for dead so many times and yet they never listened.  Josh and I get a chance to look back at the run, to revel in the results, but also spend some time looking ahead, as 2012 will be here before you know it.

Guest: Dan Edmonson (Chicken Fried Baseball)

The night before the opening of the Fall Classic, I got together with Dan to talk about the Cardinals and the Rangers.  Dan and I chat some about his spending some of his early fandom in hostile territory and about some of the great Ranger teams of the past.  We also, of course, get into what to expect out of the culmination of the season and how this World Series might play out.

Guest: Bob Netherton (On The Outside Corner)

There's nothing like talking to one of our Cardinal historians when the current Cardinal team is on a historic run.  Bob and I talked about his earliest memories of the Cardinals (he goes back a little farther than some of us) and how this team and the 1964 team that made that remarkable comeback compare.  We also hesitantly give our predictions about what will happen in Game 6 and possibly Game 7 of the NLCS.

Guest: Jim Breen (Bernie's Crew)

With the Cardinals and the Brewers getting set to open the National League Championship Series, I roped in an expert on the other side.  Jim and I talked about how he got into blogging, his big scoop of the past offseason, and how this series was likely to play out.  I'd like to say we came to verbal blows, but I'm not much on lying. 

Guest: Christine Coleman (Aaron Miles' Fastball)

On the evening after the Cardinals' 11-6 loss to Philadelphia in the first game of the NLDS, I got a chance to talk with Christine about her sordid past and her conversion from the dark side.  We also talk about the remarkable September the Cardinals have and what may be to come for the Redbirds.

Guest: Nick (Pitchers Hit Eighth)

There are few that I enjoy talking Cardinal baseball with more than Nick.  As so often happens when you get the two of us together, it's a free ranging discussion that, well, let's just say you get your money's worth.  If this one was a baseball game, you'd have gotten at least two or three extra innings out of the deal.  

Guest: Steve Keane (The Eddie Kranepool Society)

A few days before the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, I thought it best to sit down with a New York blogger and talk about that day, among other things.  Steve not only talks about what happened on 9/11/01 but also his long-time fandom of the Mets, his thoughts on leaving Shea Stadium, and what the Mets are likely to do this coming offseason.

Guest: Bill Ivie (I70 Baseball)

If I was going to do a show, there's no way I could do it without eventually talking to my compatriot.  Bill talks about meeting a hero, running a big website, and the realistic prospects for St. Louis this season.


Dathan steps into the breach, becoming my first interview subject.  He talks about spending time in Chicago, most especially during 2003, as well as why he got into blogging and how he got into writing at I70 Baseball as well.

Guest: None

The first episode of the show, as any good pilot episode should be, is an origins show.  I talked about my background, how I got into blogging, and all the different organizations I've started up.
