A Pod of Their Own, Episode 259: Extreme Boredom Overcomes Orlando (EBOO)
2025-12-09 | 1h 32 mins.
Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we begin by discussing the Devin Williams signing, the state of the Mets’ bullpen, and whether Edwin Díaz will end up back in Queens to pair with Williams as a 1-2 closer punch. Next, we chat about what’s brewing at this week’s Winter Meetings. The Mets haven’t done anything major yet (as of this recording), but there are Mets-related rumors regarding Kyle Schwarber, Pete Alonso, the starting pitching market, Michael King, and more. We also talk about the realization of Steve Cohen’s Metropolitan Park dream and Bryce Harper’s weird pseudoscientific offseason pursuits. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Flushing is Burning: Offseason: Loading
2025-12-08 | 40 mins.
Grace is back with another episode, and some major news to talk about. First, the Mets have made a few moves, trading longtime Met Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers for Marcus Semien, which is sad from an emotional standpoint but makes sense from a baseball perspective. Then they signed Devin WIlliams, a very good move for their bullpen that also doesn't exclude the possibility of a Edwin Diaz return. They've been continually connected with Diaz, as well as Alonso, and half the other major free agents as well. Nexty, she gets into the rest of the offseason so far. The Blue Jays have made a couple of major moves, including the biggest deal of the offseason so far for Dylan Cease. The Red Sox traded for a few starting pitchers, one of whom is very excited for the Yankees rivalry. A couple of disappointing Mets trades last year have found new homes in the American League East. And the Dodgers re-signed a postseason hero.Finally, Grace's movie minute is a salute to The Running Man, a recent tentpole movie that got some more mixed reviews, but Grace found it to be a very relevant story for today. It's one of two Stephen King adaptations that Grace found very relevant and make an interesting double feature, even outside the obvious Stephen King connections.Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingisBurningPod, and email us at [email protected]!
