Friends of The Show

The Friends of the Show Podcast strives to be a fun way for John's many, faraway friends to keep in touch and have fun conversations. We talk a lot of sports, of course, but it isn't really a sports show. What we lack in audience and revenue, we more than make up for in sound quality. The Friends of the Show Podcast was born on February 16, 2012 as a successor to the many other places where the Friends of the Show have displayed their collective comedic genius. It's the Mousebed without the bitterness. It's Wikipedia2 without the impending lawsuit. It's the Eye of the Storm without the strip club commercials (for now).

Episode 24 - Beating the Dead Bobby V Horse

This is very, very late because I actually ended up meeting Bobby V in real life, and releasing this podcast when I taped it could have had real life consequences. Details on a future show, of course!

Episode 21 - Do The Rock Dance, Paul!

At long last, long lost friends of the show Josh Grimmer and Aurora Nibley make their inaugural appearance on the podcast. They're married, and they're roughly half the reason this podcast exists in the first place. They talk a lot of inside podcasting baseball, leading up to yet another hard sell to get John to move to their fair Los Angeles.

Episode 20 - Hit Me Again Ricky, I'm HOT!

Unearthed from three weeks in mothballs, John finally gets around to posting a podcast from late September in the immediate aftermath of the Bryan Geiler Bachelor Experience. Bryan's now married, and the Red Sox are now in the World Series. Aside from those two minor details, it still works.

On the second anniversary of the final episode of The Eye of the Storm, former host John and frequent co-host Bryan Geiler sit down for an overdue retrospective on the unforgettable year.

Episode 17 - Podcast of Northern Aggression

John gets together with Cape League characters and Civil War buffs Darin Weeks and Charles Condro. It gets downright nerdy for the first 45 or so minutes, then Darin steps aside and the normal foolishness begins with Charles. We cover the summer that was on Cape Cod. Great Civil War chatter...if you're into that sort of thing.

Episode 16 - Crashed by...well, somebody

John sits down once again at McKeon Park with Harbor Hawk broadcasters Dylan Vazzano and Nick Johnson. They rejoice in their new headset, break down their very interesting summer housing dynamic, and provide hilarious Iroquois Cup and Lob Ball updates. The show is eventually interrupted by some guy trying to rent the press box. No, really. It's fun.

Episode 15 - Crashed by the Coach

The McKeon Park press box is ready for baseball...even if the field isn't. Longtime friends of the show Dylan Vazzano, Nick Johnson, and D.J. Jamiel stop by to talk some baseball, and also some summer life on Cape Cod. Around 35 minutes in, a mystery guest appears, and something amazing happens...
