Flushing Is Burning, Episode 8: Fangirling over Francisco

Welcome to Flushing is Burning, the latest addition to the Home Run Applesauce family of podcasts, hosted by Grace Carbone and Christian Romo. Flushing is Burning is a weekly podcast examining the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two.

This week, Grace and Christian spend way too much time talking about how well Francisco Álvarez has played and examine a tough June schedule, wondering if the Mets can continue playing up to their competition.

They also investigate the continued Pride Night fiasco in Los Angeles, a new target in the culture war, and a strange stadium rendering in Las Vegas. Are the A’s really going to move?
