In his 2015 book, the Washington Post's Barry Svrluga goes behind the scenes at the Washington Nationals, to tell the untold stories of life in the major leagues over 'The Grind' of a 162 game season.
The first part of the episode is an interview with Barry Svrluga himself (6:40), who kindly joined us to speak about his motivation for writing the book, how he put it all together and the story of how he brought it to publication. He also spoke about how things might have differed had it been his intention all along to write it as a book, rather than as a series of articles for the Washington Post.
Then we were joined by Tom Pringle (39:05) from Bat Flips and Nerds for the discussion part of the show. We were in a bit of quandary when deciding which part to put first, as the discussion with Tom happened after the chat with Barry - you can decide for yourself if it worked the way we've done it.
It would be lovely if everybody could rate and review the podcast wherever you get your podcasts. We love seeing the feedback chiefly because it is nice seeing positive things written about yourself, but also because it increases the exposure of the podcast on different platforms and helps to expand our audience as we march ever onward towards global podcast domination!
