PosCast … puh, puh, puh, puh PosCast

Hi everybody. I’m Joe. He’s Mike. We have been doing the PosCast together since 1968, despite many coordinated and well-meaning efforts to get us to stop. We have done the PosCast for, at last count, 61,400 different entities. We are now bringing it to Substack because, we suspect, they’ve never actually listened to it.

It’s difficult to say exactly what the PosCast is about, perhaps because we have no idea. We talk a lot about baseball and other sports. We also talk about Taylor Swift and fruit pies and which vegetables would make the best basketball players. Every December we invite something like 59 of our friends to draft holiday things. One year, former Major League pitcher Brandon McCarthy drafted Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24 with the first pick in our “Holiday Songs Draft.” It was a low point in a long series of low points.

Every January, we open up baseball cards. It’s a whole thing.

What we can say, proudly, is that we do the PosCast for charity. In all, the PosCast has raised more $250,000 for our various charities, including the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, the Veterans Community Project, Eleanor and Lou Gehrig AL(C)S Center and Project Main Street. In the past, we have simply donated what entities paid us to the charity, but we now want to go directly to you, our incredible listeners. The PosCast will remain absolutely free. But if you would like to be a part of the PosCast community, we’d love for you to subscribe to the channel. Again, all net-proceeds go to PosCast charities, and we’d love for you to be a part.

The basic price of a PosCast subscription is $60 annually. But if you’re more comfortable paying $30, well, we have a 50% off coupon on our homepage. And if you’re more comfortable paying $15, well, we also have a 75% off coupon on our homepage.

And what do you get for your subscription? We don’t really know. Well, one thing you get for sure is access to the PosCast Chat room where subscribers can start any sort of conversation they want. There will be some other stuff too, we’re sure; we LOVE thinking up prizes (we’re not as good at actually DELIVERING those prizes but, eventually, we get there).

Oh for those of you who somehow ended up here and wonder: Wait, I thought this was supposed to be an about page:
