Birds With Balls

After a quick mini break we’re back all refreshed and ready for the second half of the season. This week we chat about Simone Biles, a “Ding” of the week and controversy in the world of beach handball!

The birds are back! This weeks topics include a bit of Wimbledon chatter, a UK Dinger and the big, big question……is it coming home?!

Jo was away on her holibobs so Tracey and Molly had a chat about LGBTQ+ representation in MLB, sports bras and how The Mets are learning from their past. This episode was recorded on 23rd June and all stats were accurate as of then! 

Episode 22 is here! We talk sticky balls, strip searching pitchers and tackle one of the long-standing taboos in women’s sport, periods. Things could get messy......and we make no apologies for talking about these subjects so frankly!

Some tricky subjects this week as we discuss Marcell Ozuna’s recent arrest and the press reaction to Naomi Osaka pulling out of the French Open. However, the mood is lightened somewhat by our Dingers of the Week....unless you’re a Yankees fan....! 😉

We’re back with neck nobbles and a whole lot more! Jo, Molly and Tracey chat about women playing baseball.....right here in the UK plus the usual Dingers and news from the world of women’s sport.

After an eventful couple of weeks the BWB band are back together! Molly, Jo and Tracey discuss the fabulous upcoming women’s league, hugging and introduce a totally awesome new segment entitled “We’ll never do this again!”..... Enjoy 🐧🐦🐤

So....what a week for British Baseball.....Tracey and Jo are joined by Kirsty Dunleavy-Harris (Director of Physical Activity at Active Gloucestershire) to talk about *that* post, how it’s impacted people within the baseball community and beyond, and what can be done to move things forward. Wherever you fit into this story, we urge you to at least listen 🐧🐦🐤

Firstly apologies for the rather special introduction....that’s what you get when you leave Jo in charge! This week we have all our usual amazing segments with news, Dingers and our final (maybe) Dream Team pick, plus a short discussion on why wearing a helmet and a glove at the same time is well, not appropriate...😉

Episode 16 is packed full of Dingers, Dream Team picks and Molly talks about a subject that’s really important to all of us.

You’ve made it to Episode 15 - Congratulations! This week it’s all about some fine Dingers, we try to recruit a right fielder for our BWB dream team and Molly’s got her “zipper pouch” out. Enjoy!

Real life, ACTUAL baseball is back and we’ve introduced a new segment entitled “Did you see?”! Molly tells us all about the women’s GB team meet up and we try and pick a centre fielder for our BWB Dream team ⚾️

In this episode we attempt to pick someone to play 3rd base in the BWB dream team. There’s a new “Dinger of the Week” plus some exciting merchandise news....ooooooh....⚾️

In this weeks damn fine episode we play a bit of “higher or lower”, Molly premieres her “Dinger of the Week” theme tune AND we pick our BWB dream team shortstop!!

Unbelievably we’ve made it to Episode 11! This weeks quality content includes our usual news roundup, some important points around mental health and our BWB 2B dream team pick.

This episode mainly consists of giggling and Molly’s very naughty sounding laugh....However, apart from that we discuss Spring training, Ellis Genge’s anatomy, golden eagles, COVID health and safety and our first base dream team pick. Don’t let anyone tell you that we don’t provide our listeners with varied content!

In this episode we celebrate some more good news in the world of female sport, discuss the Jared Porter story and throw in a few more controversial opinions for good measure!

It’s episode 4 and things are about to get a bit tasty! Can of worms anyone?!
