Jays Journal has recently launched a 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 wide 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 31. “The More Things Change.”

It took a special breed of fan to appreciate the greatest ninth inning comeback in Blue Jays history, as the team clawed back from a daunting six-run deficit to defeat the LA Angels by a score of 11-10. The memories of the previous two games were obliterated as the faithful erupted in the joyous rapture of an improbable comeback.

We’re excited to bring you a compelling interview on tonight’s show along with a lively round table to help you through the inevitable bitterness of trade deadline 2017. So buckle up and join host Ari Shapiro on another thrilling edition of the Jays Journal Podcast.
