Gauging Interest


 
Do NOT jump to any conclusions about this, but I want to gauge interest on something.

If I was to do something like a weekly podcast, how many of you would listen in?

Poll
Would you listen to a weekly podcast from John?

I think a lot of the “Nos” are people who would love to listen but just wouldnt have time to actually listen to it.

I think it would be sweet

especially if you could get some sort of call in aspect, or at least answer some questions from the site every week.

Email

Possibly answer an email or two for each show in addition to your insight on the topic for the week

Most Def

I would assume it would not duplicate the blog but yes it certainly interests me

by ribman on Feb 7, 2026 9:57 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I'd listen

I would be very interested in gaining some more knowledge on the prospects.

Definitely

No question I’d listen to it.

Curious why people would be voting maybe or no. It’s basically 50/50 now with yes and the other options yet. If you are worried about time to listen to it, you can just put it up in the background while you surf the net or do any number of things within earshot of your computer, iPOD, or phone.

I voted no

I am interested in something like this, but I know that I do not have the time to listen to it. That was the question, ‘would you listen?’…

 I get your point on putting on in the background, etc… for many this may work. For me likely not, due to where I am when I am on this site. So, I answered the question honestly.

Yes...

…but only if it’s going to be totally in addition to the blog stuff. If you only have time for one or the other, stick with the blogging.

Probably

It would probably depend on how good is the podcast. Being from Canada, I have never heard or seen your material, and rely on your written analysis. If you project orally, as good as you do with the written word, then I would listen. If not, then I would pass.

Regardless I think it would be a great idea and would give you an opportunity to discuss certain prospects more in depth. You could even do podcast themes such as:
1. Answering your questions
2. Draft preview edition
3. Biggest flops

Your thoughts

For the most part, the only reason we’re all here is to read your thoughts and soak in your knowledge of the game and players. Most of us have little to no involvement with professional baseball except as spectators, and it seems that neither do you really. So while you’re a lot like us, you still have more contacts, experience and understanding than we do.

My vote is yes, of course, but I probably won’t be able to listen at any specific time. I don’t know how “podcast” is defined, but It would have to be something I can listen to anytime after you make it, and perhaps download.

iTunes

I would if it was available for download via iTunes.

Yes, but only

If you explain to Wesleyan University why due to no longer doing anything but listen, my gpa dropped a full point after you began doing podcasts

Most definitely would listen

I already listen regularly to “Prospect Tuesdays” on Fantasy Focus (or whatever it is called now).

You’ve got to do it John, pretty please with sugar on top..

Some Ideas

John, I’d very much be interested in a Podcast, not only to hear your thoughts on prospects, but also guests.

If you could pull some other industry insiders for weekly discussions, from BA, BP, ESPN, or scouts, to go hand in hand with your own analysis, I would LOVE that.

by MightyMoose on Feb 8, 2026 3:37 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I like this idea

It would also be interesting to have some of the more controversial members of the site face off (i.e. Dewey vs Paul Thomas).

Podcast and Time

I have heard a few state that a lack of time may cause them not to listen. If the podcasts were available to download as an MP3 they would be great to listen to during a commute. I have downloaded many fantasy baseball podcast shows and listened to them during a commute, or even at my desk at work shhhhhh LOL

by topjimmy on Feb 8, 2026 7:20 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Very intriguing idea John...

I think that this would really allow you to expand your empire; reach a greater audience…I love listening to Podcasts (Baseball & Star Trek - btw, “Trekcast” is a lot of fun) while commuting/travelling…there are so many ideas that are difficult to convey on “paper” or don’t necessarily fit into written content; also, if you Podcast with someone, then you have that ability to create on the fly, listeners can hear your passion, all very cool…you have a level of control over what you want to say and thoughts aren’t derailed (as in some “postings”) by others’ with negative agenda’s…but please, use equipment that is professional (i.e. stable sound levels, etc)…Awesome idea, Good Luck if you choose to go down this path!
