Episode 076: Spring Training is Over

Happy Monday! Happy Opening Week! Happy Birthday Coz!!! Join the NerdyBats podcast as they talk about what Spring Training even means as a viewer and fan. We aren’t seeing veterans at their best, but we are seeing a lot of young talent look to prove themselves. Is their performance gradable when you know the vets are also working on things? Also, our duo digs into their ideal lineups, complain a bit that Nado is still around, and we gush about some of the new guys. @LubWub [https://bsky.app/profile/lubwub.bsky.social] @nerdybatscoz [https://bsky.app/profile/nerdybatscoz.bsky.social] This is a public episode.

Episode 073: Amor Fati and Evolution w/ Mike McCain

Happy Tuesday! Last week Caleb had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Mike McCain, a former longtime developer with Harebrained Schemes whom, after a stint doing animation for film (and winning an Oscar in the process), has returned to Harebrained as the Executive Producer of their upcoming Survival Horror game GRAFT. Together Mike and Caleb talk about a series of topics the duo find they have complicated feelings about. Topics: Mike’s Journey, Crunch and Burnout in games, the sacrifice art asks for, finding the work that fulfills you, Ikigai and its applications, Amor Fati and accepting the good and the bad, “You are the Ship of Theseus”.

Episode 072: *Special* NerdyBats *Special*

Happy Friday! This one has been a long time brewing. Before last season started, Caleb talked to John, a friend and son of the owner of Caleb’s favorite coffee shop, if he would be interested in making a St. Louis Cardinals podcast. The answer was an immediate yes. But…life got in the way. Well this year they made it happen. So slide on in and hang with Caleb and John as they talk about the Cardinals weird (and frankly weak) offseason, our excitement to see the young guys get a shot, how long a leash we think Oliver Marmol has, how much we hate John Mozeliak, and a bunch more! *There is a chance, in the future, this becomes a premium offering. Something we put behind the paywall, as a way to provide more value to those interested. As of now, we are going to do a few of these and see what the response is before we do any of that. So let us know if you like stuff like this!* This is a public episode.
