Agreed! I like Baseball & Nonsense or if you must Sports & Nonsense as a tagline or subtitle, but don't think there's any need to change the title. And I would for sure miss the theme song sorely. It has, after all, stood lo these 63 years.
I was going to say the same thing! Except “Baseball” instead of “Sports” because to quote Sarah Langs, “Baseball is the best!” And let’s be honest, “Nonsense” encapsulates the other sports!
Yes! I like the Posnanski reference specifically because it’s obscure and IYKYN and despite the Poscast’s brobdingnagian listenership Joe still, unbelievably isn’t a household name. One would assume the discussions of fountain pens, Jill Biden, and magic conferences alone would push his name ID beyond Michael Jordan and Walter Cronkite, but it isn’t quite there. Certainly adding “sports and nonsense” would get him on par with The Beatles where he belongs.
Removing his name would take away from the quirkiness I hold close to my heart.
Even if it were officially changed, Joe and Mike would mistakenly continue to refer to it as the Poscast for many months anyway. You can't just undo habits forming since the first episode aired 60 years ago.
You must be outta your damn minds. "PosCast" is perfect. Absolutely, 100%, positively, indisputedly perfect. The song is perfect. The content is perfect. (Though, you should bring back the drafts, imjustsayin). Your guests are perfect. (Yes, even the heel, Seppinwall.)
Keep the name. Don't be the California Angels of podcasts. Or the Anaheim Angels. Or the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, California USA. It's working. Stick with it.
But if you WERE going to change it, which you shouldn't, I'd go with "The Joe Posnanski Poscast Starring Michael Schur," since that gets Mike in there. But you shouldn't change it.
Make Mike's suggestion the tagline. "Come for the baseball, stay for the nonsense."
I am not your mom but don't you DARE, mister. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES. It is the PosCast. If you change the name I will simply do what I've done with Twitter and the Sears Tower.
Keep the name because it's terrible! Confusing, autocorrected to "podcast", and means nothing to any random person who hears it— a perfect fit for the content. Flummoxed that you would even consider making it descriptive or logical.
I like the name Poscast, but I like Neil’s idea, also.
I also just wanted to share that I bought tickets for me, my 11-year old, and his best friend last night to see… the Trans-Siberian Orchestra! Embrace the cheese.
100% keep poscast, and 1000% keep the song. its already all perfect. except for the drafts, bring back the drafts.
also for those of us who don’t care about the baseball much, an approximate time stamp of when it just turns to meaningless nonsense would be awesome 💙
“The Poscast: Sports and Nonsense”
Best of both worlds!
Would it not be better to say: "The Poscast: Nonsense!" or maybe "The Poscast: Nonsense?"

Precisely what I was going to day!
"say" I meant.
Agreed. Regardless, keep the song

I miss all the other songs. "Yankee Minute", "Let's Check In With the Cleveland Browns", etc.
Segments!
They don't HAVE to do all of the segments every episode. But when they do a segment, they need the music!
You must be outta your damn minds. "PosCast" is perfect. Absolutely, 100%, positively, indisputedly perfect. The song is perfect. The content is perfect. (Though, you should bring back the drafts, imjustsayin). Your guests are perfect. (Yes, even the heel, Seppinwall.)
You don't fuck with perfection.
I vote for “Meaningless Things, with Joe and Mike”—would make one, last meaningless thing actually rather more meaningful.
Duck à l'orange Has never changed its name so why would y'all?
Theme song by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Just for a week at least, make it the SchurCast. Maybe when you're opening up baseball cards this year!

Without the song...I...I...just don't know what I'd do.

(My vote is no, but) If you do change the name, the song still works:
NON SENSE!
NUH-NUH-NUH-NUH-NUH-NUH-NUH-NON-SENSE!
Thank you for hav-ing me, Joe!

The only name change I could accept would be 5-Minute Poscast.
can we still vote?
