A Pod of Their Own, Episode 161: From Oakland to Sin City with Jen Ramos




Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast show

Summary: Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we begin by discussing the ugly play by the Mets this past week and the pitching staff being in shambles. We also talk about recent reporting that revealed that Steve Cohen looked into putting a retractable roof on Citi Field, but balked at the price tag. In our baseball segment this week, we have friend of the pod Jen Ramos on to use their policy brain to chat about taxpayer-funded stadiums, the A’s departing for Vegas, and MLB censoring fan protests of A’s ownership. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.  You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Home Run Applesauce podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.
