Listen to me on “The Sportive” podcast

Last night I was a guest on "The Sportive" podcast with Jon Marthaler, Randall's Stu, Brandon Broxey, and Clarence Swamptown. I had a great time on the show and we talked about a wide variety of topics, most of them silly and all of them leading to multiple tangents. Beer and swear words flowed freely and I think you'll enjoy listening to it, so check out the episode:

Gleeman and The Geek #91: Radio Return and It’s April

For this week's "Gleeman and The Geek" episode we returned to the radio at KFAN and topics included the Twins' surprisingly decent April, how wrong we've been about Kevin Correia, Aaron Hicks heating up offensively and making mistakes defensively, leash lengths for Trevor Plouffe and Chris Parmelee, shifting positions helping Brian Dozier, Mike Pelfrey's rough comeback from Tommy John surgery, dropping weight and licking palms, and shot-gunning beers.
