A Pod of Their Own, Episode 8: A conversation with The Athletic’s Emma Span




Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast show

Summary: 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 the full blown Mets situation we have on our hands, including the injuries to Seth Lugo and Yoenis Cespedes. We also discuss how Robinson Cano is not the biggest issue on this team. (timestamp) Next, we welcome Emma Span to the show, Managing Editor of The Athletic MLB. She discusses her role at The Athletic as well as where she sees this model going in the coming years. For beleaguered Mets fans she gives suggestions on what other fun teams to follow this season. (timestamp) 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.
