Hi All, New to this and wasn't sure where to put. We wanted to share with you all an interview we did with umpire Gerry Davis on our podcast. Hope you enjoy it. Any constructive feedback will be greatly appreciated. https://coachbaseballright.com/podcast/episode-3-interview-with-major-league-umpire-gerry-davis/ Best, Steve Nicollerat

Just wanted to drop a note to say how very good @Chris Kamler 's new UmpTalk.com podcast is. I have listened to eps 2-4 and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Chris has a journalism and podcast production background so the production quality is surprisingly high, professional and very easy to listen to. My son and I were driving to an association meeting last night and listened to the Jon Browar and Greg Harmon episodes. They addressed the things assignors are looking for and they also addressed youth ball which was a lot of fun. I KNOW it will be tough for him to build a large audience as there is a lot working against him (VERY small umpire market, smaller online umpire community, and podcasting is hardly mainstream, yet.), so I am sure he would appreciate your help. I would encourage everyone to check out at least one episode (#2/Jon Browar is very good.). Further, if you don't already listen to podcasts regularly, you are REALLY missing out. With the addition of UmpTalk, there is now officially a podcast for every subject. I listen to TWIT and other tech podcasts, ESPN (Football and poker), Freakonomics, Adam Carolla, Afterbuzz, and a few more. I use an android app called BeyondPod, but any highly-rated app will work great. I encourage everyone to check it out and, if you agree, spread the word and help him build an audience. A few of us have kicked around the idea of doing a podcast, and this guy took the time to execute and put out a good product. Wishlist for the podcast: in-depth discussion of the NCAA DH rule, including any mnemonics/tricks to memorizing/understanding it. NFHS rules philosophy Wishlist Guests: Carl Childress, former MiLB/Current D1 umpires, Jim Evans, Any rules experts, NFHS rules committee members Game management Intangibles of an upward-mobile umpire
