Introducing ... "Crafting the Call"
My new video podcast debuts today. Episode 1 is the challenges of calling an Inside-the-Park Home Run
Crafting the Call is a YouTube series that I developed along with Jesse Goldberg-Strassler. Each week, we examine different aspects of baseball play-by-play announcing, offering our perspective as working professionals for fans, and advice for fellow broadcasters.
Exciting news that I’m thrilled I can finally share with everyone.
For the last three months, I’ve been working with my friend Jesse Goldberg-Strassler on a new video project that goes behind-the-scenes on the finer details of being a baseball play-by-play announcer. It’s titled, “Crafting the Call.”
Today we launch the Episode 1: the challenges of calling an inside-the-park home run.
Jesse and I watched a variety of calls, from the major leagues and minor leagues, and shared experiences from our own broadcasts.
A new episode will debut every Tuesday. We’ve started a YouTube channel, but I’ll also be posting them here on my Substack Newsletter as well.
I’ve had a blast recording these with Jesse. I’ve always enjoyed the process of thinking through the best way to describe live sports. I learn so much every episode and know this will continue to make me better at my job.
Whether you like baseball, or appreciate the intricacies of broadcasting, I’m confident you will enjoy this too. Hope you subscribe to our YouTube channel. Share it with your friends too.
