My ATS co-host, Steve Rubel, found a newspaper headline titled, "Pod casts aside Astros," which referenced Scott Podsednik's game-winning home run in Game 2 of the World Series. His post was titled, "Astros succumb to podcasters"

I doctored the headline to read, "podcasts aside Astros" to indicate that podcasts were a part of the whole consumption experience: case in point, this morning...my MLB Podcast was ready and waiting for me, with highlights/interviews from the winning players.

Although podcasting (Radio TiVo) is completely time-agnostic and on-demand, I was very impressed that the podcasters behind MLB's daily show had capitalized on this moment and had recorded a special show which was special, relevant and a bonus to me and my morning commute into the city.

Kudos to the guys over at MLB (Vinny Micucci in particular...considering the game ended around 12.15am EST and the interviews obviously were recorded in the hour or so that followed, it was a late night or early morning recording.) and of course, congrats to everyone in Chicago for reversing your curse. Go Cubs in 2006 (and beyond!)
