April Baseball is Dangerous with Meg Rowley

Rooting For The Seattle Mariners™️ Til the End of Time with Nathan Bishop

Welcome to The Enni Way, a podcast about the Mariners with Sarah Enni. Our guest this week is Nathan Bishop [https://bsky.app/profile/nathanhb.bsky.social], former Managing Editor of Lookout Landing and The Light Bat, and contributor to KJR’s Mollywop Mondays [https://933kjr.iheart.com/]. We talk about the lack of clear narrative identity for the 2026 team and ask important questions, like: is Julio putting together the Full Julio Season? Is Randy too cool to be a Mariner? Does Kade Anderson know where Seattle is? Is Sasquatch real? We ask: what is the fan theory of the case this year? And finally, we consider George Kirby. Links: The Light Bat Publishing Inc.
