Life gets rough for a Mets fan, but Metsblog's hopeful speculation provides some respite from the team's shortcomings.
Metsblog features two podcasts: Metsblog Q&Acast and Mostly Mets. The first is a 10 to 15 minute Q&A with either a player (current or former), coach, or sports analyst. The second is a general podcast about all things Mets. Currently, with the off-season in full-swing, both podcasts are focusing on trades, potential signings and plenty of speculation.
Mostly Mets, the broader of the two shows, features quality analysis from its hosts Tony Hyde and Robert Brender. The two hosts do, however, speak as fans as well as analysts, which, I think, helps them establish an effective connection with listeners. The podcast does well to transition smoothly from one segment to the next.
In its most recent episode Mostly Mets discussed the team's shortstop deficit. The show began with breaking news, the Red Sox's acquisition of Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval. The discussion turned to how these seemingly remote transactions would affect the Mets and their shortstop situation. The conversation ran right into the show's first guest, Nick Piecoro, a beat writer from potential trade partner Arizona Diamondbacks. This well-designed flow made apparent the preparedness of the producers.
The interview itself--as was the case with the rest of the show--was informative, respectable commentary, a quality source of information. In my opinion, the podcast did well relating to fans, tossing humor in here, and, above all, provided strong insight from credible sources on what may be a busy off-season for the Mets.
