Pump It Up: A new Kentucky baseball podcast

Starting this week, I'll be joining Adam Luckett of Kentucky Sports Radio for the weekly "Pump It Up" Kentucky baseball podcast. Adam announced the podcast in a post at KSR today.

“Pump It Up” will take a closer look at the Kentucky baseball program by covering UK, opponents, discussing strategy, analyzing roster-building, lineup usage, pitching rotation, bullpen decisions, what is going on in the SEC, NCAA tournament resume analysis, and much more. Terry will bring his vast knowledge of the program to the KSR audience and share the real inside story of Kentucky baseball thanks to his deep connections and sources. Yours truly will serve as the host of the show as we attempt to bring a detail-oriented and fresh look at Kentucky baseball to the Big Blue Nation via the podcast medium.

Expect plenty of in-depth baseball discussion throughout the season along with the traditional KSR humor and insight (known as “the most ridiculous manner possible” by some) as we cover everything going on at Kentucky Proud Park. There will be regional and national guests along with other surprises.

New episodes will be available on KSR's Youtube channel or wherever you find your podcasts. I'll also have a page on Bat Cat Central's website where all new episodes can easily be found.

I mentioned in a post a little over a month ago that one of my goals this year was to have an audio aspect for Kentucky baseball fans. Ultimately, I thought this made the most sense given KSR's built-in infrastructure on YouTube. This is something that can be easily found by folks who want to listen to Kentucky baseball talk each week.

I'm excited about what this podcast could become. I met Adam on the Kentucky football beat some years back and have always enjoyed his perspective on the Wildcats' football program. He's a fellow long-suffering Cincinnati Reds fan like myself, so expect some Reds talk every now and then when we're done talking about the Cats.

The first episode will go live tomorrow evening, likely after 7 p.m. ET. I hope you'll join.
