Jays Journal has recently launched a brand new podcast, which is hosted by our own Ari Shapiro, and can be found on blogtalkradio.com. Tune in regularly to hear Ari and a wild range of guests talk about current issues, have roundtable discussions, and regularly take your calls to discuss all things Blue Jays.
Jays Journal Podcast- July 5th- “Start Spreading The News”
In what could best be described as perhaps the most surreal game of the year, the Toronto Blue Jays stormed out of New York with their first series win since the middle of June. Behind some timely bullpen pitching and a more than familiar solo home run power surge, this team finds itself riding the crest of a Montero wave that presumably ends with him throwing out Houston base runners, en masse – stay tuned.
Joining us on tonight’s show is an author, podcaster, and the radio voice of the Lansing Lugnuts, Jesse Goldberg-Strasser (@jgoldstrass). Jesse sits down with host Ari Shapiro to discuss a variety of intriguing subjects including:
