Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast
"Meet me at Musial" is a trademark of St. Louis, where the Musial statue is a rallying point. Every week, two far-flung fans virtually "meet at Musial" to go over the latest in Cardinal news and discussion. Daniel Shoptaw (@C70, from Arkansas) and Allen Medlock (@amedlock1, Oklahoma) prove that great Cardinal talk can come anywhere in Cardinal Nation when you meet up to discuss your favorite team.

The holiday season is upon us and so Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are talking turkey. The Cards have stuffed their 40-man roster with some new seasonings while some other trimmings have been discarded. Can we read anything out of Chaim Bloom's carvings? Can Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman be a featured dish or are they destined to be the casserole that gets overlooked? Could Bloom cook up a trade before the big gathering...

Daniel (@C70) continues his tour around the majors with a stop in Denver, talking with Shannon (@LoveTheRox) about being a Rockies fan. What's it like being a season ticket holder of this team? What got her involved in baseball and how did she get started online? Is Paul DePodesta the answer? And is she disappointed the Rockies didn't set the record last year? Plus talk about Matt Holliday and Nolan Arenado for the Cards fans ...

After a little time off, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get back to talking baseball. The guys discuss the playoffs before turning to some of the moves the Cardinals made this week. Where do we see the hand of Chaim Bloom? Do any of these moves really mean anything or will they be quickly forgotten? There's also discussion of why no Cardinal personnel filled any open managerial/front office spot, what the jump from colleg...

Daniel (@C70) continues his look around baseball, talking with Gregg Masterson (@greggtmasterson) about his Twins fandom. How did he get tied into the Twins and what kept him there? Why is the '87 team not nearly as discussed as the '91 champs? How did he get into content creation? The guys then talk about the MLB Fan Council, especially given the attention it has gathered this week. What hope is there as a Twins fan for the f...

Continuing his look at fans of other teams, Daniel (@C70) sits down with Lux Farina (@TheMFinKC) to talk about the baseball team on the other side of Missouri. Lux talks about how he started following the Royals and how that fandom led him into the online community and then into podcasting. The guys then talk about the Royals, what went wrong in 2025, what it's like watching Bobby Witt Jr., and what this winter will be like. Hop...

Daniel (@C70) tries something a little different, looking to have conversations with a broader baseball reach. First up is Joshua Howsam (@JoshuaHowsam), a Blue Jays fan with writing and podcasting in his background. The guys talk about Joshua's fandom and what it's like being a fan of a team that isn't much older than he is, plus other things like the MLB Fan Council before diving into this Toronto squad. How does this World Se...

With still no direct Cardinals news given the playoff hiatus, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) spend some time with a few other topics. The postseason has been remarkable, even if the expected NL winner turned out to be the actual NL winner. Is that just a function of payroll? Is Shohei Ohtani the greatest ever? The guys then dig into a little bit of the injury news, with three Cardinals going under the knife recently, and ...

With the playoffs going on, there's not necessarily a ton of Cardinals news out there but that didn't stop Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) from getting together to chat. They talk about the playoffs, then about some of the press Chaim Bloom and the new front office got this week. The guys tackle Cardinal legends as managers or coaches and the Jordan Walker Driveline video. Plus Rich (@remembirds) talks about Harry Carey's f...

The baton is passed. The reins are handed over. The crown sits on a new head. It was a significant week for the St. Louis Cardinals, with a peaceful transfer of power from John Mozeliak to Chaim Bloom. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about both of the press conferences this week. Did Mo say anything surprising on his way out? Did we learn anything from Bloom's remarks? How will the change in the two regimes be visi...

With just two games left for the St. Louis Cardinals, held in the so-called Friendly Confines, it's an opportunity to look back a bit and look forward a lot. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the Cardinals officially being eliminated, the end of the Miles Mikolas era, and speculate wildly about what might happen this winter. Is there a path that leads to a significant remodel? How confident are we that the churn th...

As the season winds down, the evaluations begin and, overall, they aren't what we were hoping for. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) spend the show talking about Katie Woo's latest tone-setting piece, indicating the Cardinals organization is planning a long-term rebuild. Is this the right move? What will Chaim Bloom do this winter? Is there a chance all three big name contracts are dealt? How do fans approach not winning fo...

Another week of St. Louis Cardinals baseball is off the calendar and Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here on a rare Friday afternoon to talk about it. The Cards drop three in Seattle and while that technically impacted their playoff chances, they've been infinitesimal for a while. The guys talk about recent roster moves, how the John Mozeliak legacy might be looked at in retrospect, and the aggressive (or is it?) movemen...

After another Cardinals beatdown, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get together to talk the week that was and the winter that could be. What will be the first indication that the club is becoming less risk averse? How will Chaim Bloom be able to work within ownership limitations? Was the public discussion of Jordan Walker by the coaching staff helpful or disturbing? Will we be seeing some of the big names again this season?...

The Cardinals may have made more news outside of actual games than on the field this week. (Well, some of it was on the field, but not game action.) The promotion of Jimmy Crooks and Cesar Prieto caused some stirs and Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about how these guys can fit into the puzzle. Before that, though, they talk about what a rebuild means and how things might look under Chaim Bloom this winter. There's al...

It was a better week of Cardinals baseball but, after the Rockies and Yankees series, that's a low bar. The Cardinals have a weird Saturday off day but Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here to talk about what they've seen this week and how that informs their thoughts on the future. For instance, is there any chance Miles Mikolas returns? What does the rotation look like next year? Are we too attached to some of these hi...

You'd think beating the Cubs and Dodgers would make for some momentum, but the Cards let that all slip away by losing a series to the Rockies. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about this roller-coaster of a team, trying to get a handle on it. They talk about the lack of offense and what might be done about it, who might not be a Cardinal in 2026, and what the approach of the front office might be. Plus Rich (@remembirds...

Even if the Cardinals were in a pennant race, the return of Yadier Molina to the dugout would have been big news. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the return of the legend, how that impacted the feel of Friday night's game, and what that means for his future. The guys also talk a lot about the front office and their approach to 2026 plus the future of Nolan Arenado. Come join us!

The trade deadline has come and gone and for the second time in three years, the Cardinals have focused on sending players away rather than bringing players in. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) don't get too much into what the return was because there are much better prospect evaluators out there. Instead, they talk about what the deadline means for the rest of the year, what it means for this offseason, and how the next coup...

With the trade deadline looming, there were plenty of topics for Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) to touch on in this week's show. Does the rebound against the Padres at all negate the stumbles against the Diamondbacks and Rockies? Will the Cardinals be tempted to not sell? Plus the guys touch on the sort-of-surprising-but-not-really release of Erick Fedde. Then they tackle the trade deadline, wondering what the return on s...

It's the pause that refreshes. Or, if you are like Allen (@amedlock1), the pause that drives you crazy. Baseball took its annual hiatus this week to put on the All-Star festivities. That part Allen liked, though Daniel (@C70) had his old man grumbles with it, but the lack of Cardinals baseball has been notable.
Do the next 65 games matter or does the season really come down to the next six? The guys talk about the direction...
