I love listening to podcasts. I listen to them while commuting, when I am at work or whatever activity where I am alone. Over the last few months I have been listening to a number of podcasts that cover various topics within sports cards. I thought it would be useful share a little information about the podcasts that I have found.
The Card Podcast @ Superfractor.com – This is the first one I started listening too. Rob Zieda, the host, has had a variety of guests discussing topics ranging from web sites, such as CollectorRevolution.com, to card executives, such as Clay Luraschi of Topps and Brian Gray of Razor. Most recently he was just talking baseball with his Craig Calcaterra of the ShysterBall blog. Up to this point, it has been an enjoyable podcast to listen to. Sometimes I wish there are more episodes but I also know it is a lot of work.
Sports Card Radio – Colin Tedards recently had a card shop in N. California. Colin has a fun podcast. He often gives pointers on buying and selling cards, prospects, and hobby news. The community he is building at his site seems to be going somewhere. Although I disagree with some of the these he says (like building websites), I enjoy when a new show is released.
The Hobby – Not a real podcast in the true sense of the word. The Hobby is a weekly radio show in Buffalo, New York on WGR 550 AM radio. But I give them credit for releasing the shows and making them available as downloads. I really like Mike Schopp as a host. I still haven’t caught up on all of the episodes yet. But I plan on doing so only because this is a quality program. The only downside is I wish Mike could go more in depth with some of his guests. Limitations of traditional radio prevent them from doing so.
There used to be a podcast at sportscollectingradio.com but it is not there anymore. Am I missing any? Please let me know if I am. I want to hear and keep up with all of them.
Hopefully, these shows will continue as they are. They offer a perspective to the hobby unique to others.
