Yesterday afternoon, it was announced that MetsmerizedOnline.com and The Daily Stache are joining together to help produce and host the new Metsmerized radio podcast called “Metsmerized Radio.”
The show will be every Thursday evening at 6 pm and will be an hour long show dedicated to covering the Mets both on and off the field, in the Majors and Minors.
This is a show that has been about one year in the making since I pitched the idea to Metsmerized Owner Joe Decaro during a Mets-A’s game last year and picked up steam during the end of July.
I will be hosting the show alongside Metsmerized Writer and veteran magazine editor Stephen Hanks. Having talked to Stephen over the past month, I’m excited to work with him and his wealth of Mets knowledge is second to none.
To pick up on some of the details, here is a quote from the Press Release that was on Metsmerized Online yesterday afternoon.
The one hour show will also feature a regular segment on the Mets minor league’s from MMO Minor League Editor, Pete Shapiro. Pete will share his extensive knowledge on all the prospects whom he meets regularly as he travels to see them either at home or on the road. This week in particular, Pete will be reporting on his visit with the Cyclones as he spends the day talking with the manager, coaches and of course the players like Kevin Plawecki and Brandon Nimmo.
No show would be complete without you, the listeners. and each week will feature live callers as Matt and Stephen tackle your every question and concern about the team and the players,.as we make you an active and engaging part of our show’s dynamic. That total fan concept that makes MMO the thriving community that it is will be a big part of each broadcast.
We will also field a couple of questions from the Mets Twitterverse as MMO’s Fan Correspondent, Satish Ram, stretches out his social media limbs to bring the show some added depth from a whole other Mets world that almost has a life of its own.
Each week will also feature a Special Guest who can bring some additional insights on the latest Mets news and happenings, and for our debut show we are honored to have Mark Simon from ESPN joining us. Mark, a lifelong Mets fan that needs no introduction, is the widely popular Stats & Information Research Specialist for ESPN and a Mets Historian as well. His out of the box insights and unique perspectives are always a refreshing departure from the usual commentary you see everywhere else, and it will be fun to hear his thoughts as the Mets’ season winds down.
Some of the guests the first couple of weeks will include Mark Simon of ESPN and ESPN NY, who is our guest for the debut show Thursday at 6 pm, Matt Cerrone from Metsblog and SNY and Adam Rubin the Mets beat writer for ESPN-NY.
My excitement level for this is through the roof. To be working with Joe D and his crew at Metsmerized is just another example of how Mets blogs can come together to create something really great.
The Daily Stache this season has taken strides from the success of last season and we continue to work hard for you, the fans, to come here and enjoy what we bring each and every day.
We hope that our partnership with Metsmerized Online and Joe D, will give us another avenue to grow and take more steps to being a top Mets blog.
I have the utmost respect for Joe and Metsmerized as he has supported myself and my partner Mike Ganci through the years as The Daily Stache has grown into what it has become today.
I encourage you to take the time to check out our debut show this Thursday and support this joint project as we hope its the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
LETS GET METSMERIZED!
