We Can Pod It Out 31: And I Love Her 23.01.2023 12:53

Editor’s note: I had planned to start a thing today to go with We Can Pod It Out because the podcast-only posts feel kind of bare, and I still plan to start it, but I got distracted by making a whole array of images of the incredibly stupid ending of the Cowboys-49ers game last night. Speaking of football, lots of stuff going up this week at gobirdsgobirds.com, and while life is tough, I’m thrille...

We Can Pod It Out 30: I'm Happy Just To Dance With You 13.01.2023 5:55

Editor’s note: This episode was initially posted with “Things We Said Today” as the title and cover art, although the correct episode about “I’m Happy Just To Dance With You” did post. The song and erroneous cover art are staying below because why not. This is a public episode.

We Can Pod It Out 28: I Should Have Known Better 11.01.2023 9:48

By Roger Cormier I don't know what 2030 is going to look like. Mets owner Steve Cohen made his billions doing his darndest to predict what the stock market would do, so he would like to think he does know something about the future. Today, Cohen is a loser. The Mets were outbid by the Minnesota Twins . If thought of just this way, you would be thinking we must be in the past, the Wilpon era. I ju...

We Can Pod It Out 27: Things We Said Today 10.01.2023 7:20

Editor’s note: Remember how we were gonna come back with Addy Baird and a Mets vibe check today?

We Can Pod It Out 14: All I've Gotta Do 22.12.2022 5:20

We Can Pod It Out 10: Thank You Girl 16.12.2022 4:03

This weekend will be exciting because we’ll get to donate our first bunch of winter hats from our Hot Stove, Warm Welcome drive, as State Senator Jessica Ramos hosts a holiday lunch for newly-arrived families here in Queens. The drive continues, as we’ll donate a hat for every hoodie we sell this month in our shop . Obviously, we wanted to get hats in time for this lunch, so we ordered some earlie...

We Can Pod It Out 9: From Me To You 15.12.2022 5:03

Editor’s note: No Pavilion with this episode, just the podcast! As we’re continuing to work on the best way to present everything here… we might as well ask, would you prefer fewer emails with more stuff in them, as we’ve been doing with mixed podcast/Pavilion posts… or would you prefer individual posts for each podcast and written thing, especially when they don’t really have anything to do with...

We Can Pod It Out 8: There's A Place 14.12.2022 4:49

By Jesse Spector Continuing the project that I referenced in yesterday’s Pavilion , I was looking to see who coached Centre College from 1938-41, and thus had young assistant DeWitt Weaver on staff. Instead, I found Centre president Dr. Milton Moreland’s carrot cake recipe . This project also took me last night to 1959 in South Dakota, and another Sports Illustrated piece, this one by Roy Terrell,...

We Can Pod It Out 7: Do You Want To Know A Secret 13.12.2022 9:10

By Jesse Spector I’m doing some research that doesn’t directly involve — at least not yet — Pro Football Hall of Famer Jimmy Conzelman, the last man to coach the Cardinals to an NFL championship, back when they were the Chicago Cardinals, in 1947. and player/coach (he missed the second half of the season as a player after hurting his knee in a win over the New York Yankees) for the 1928 champion P...
