A Pod of Their Own, Episode 16: The road to Cooperstown

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue 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 our poor slumping Polar Bear as well as the Mets’ handling of Zack Wheeler’s injury. (2:08)

Next, we have to talk about domestic violence again. This time it was journalist Jonah Keri that was arrested for assaulting his wife and making threats against her. (29:51)

We move on to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony and debate about letting those accused of steroid use into Cooperstown. (33:22)

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. (53:10)
