Description

Rock & Roll Shin-Soo Choo features discussions mixing baseball and rock music. Nearly twenty years ago, hosts Gabe Estill, Jonathan Goetz and Levi Leach all went straight from spending their allowances on baseball cards and Starting Lineups to spending paychecks on records, CDs and concert tickets. From classic rock and metal to indie, alternative and whatever may have been released last week, their diverse musical tastes generate discussions that will touch all four corners of the rock and roll landscape. Each episode also covers current events in Major League Baseball, along with its rich past of heroes, characters and bit players.

124: Field Guide to 1975

2025/11/24

In 1975, MLB gave us an absolute World Series classic, while popular music gave us some of the greatest albums of all time. We hit the obvious high points in both MLB and rock, but also highlight players and musicians that - 50 years on - deserve some accolades once again.

123: Choo-In Hall of Fame Inductions

2025/06/05

Every year we hold the Choo-In Hall of Fame inductions, which are intended to recognize artists that are unlikely to be enshrined into the actual Rock Hall, but we feel are equally deserving of the recognition. This year, Levi inducts The Outlaws, Jonathan inducts Broken Social Scene, and Gabe inducts Cinderella.

122: Field Guide to 1984

2024/11/10

In 1984, Prince, Twisted Sister, and Bruce Springsteen helped fill MTV's programming, while alternative acts like Echo and the Bunnymen and The Replacements filled college airwaves. In MLB, the Detroit Tigers dominated wire-to-wire behind the contributions of MVP Willie Hernández and Kirk Gibson. We cover it all.

121: Field Guide to 1990

2024/02/05

In 1990, the shift away from hair metal was nearly complete. While alternative music was about to explode, hip hop and country music began their decade of ascendance, with artists like Garth Brooks and Public Enemy gaining popularity. Meanwhile, in MLB, the Reds and A's were on a collision course with an unexpected outcome.

119: Choo-In Hall of Fame Inductions

2023/05/29

2023/02/27

In this episode we dig into Score baseball cards, one of the big five card companies of the '80s and '90s. We review Score's designs over 10 years along with some of its most iconic cards. About halfway through the show, we pivot to a discussion about game and concert concessions - both inside and outside the venue.

2023/01/18

In this episode we dig into Fleer baseball cards, one of the big five card companies of the '80s and '90s. We review Fleer's designs over the years and some of its most iconic cards. About halfway through the show, we pivot to a discussion about band concert merch - from the bootleg swag found in the parking lot to the official stuff in the concourse.

115: Field Guide to 1992

2022/07/05

The year 1992 was superb for both music and Canada. In baseball, the Toronto Blue Jays claimed Canada's first World Series title, while the premium trading card market started to set a new standard for decades to come. In music, dozens of exceptional releases from new and veteran acts filled the shelves of Musicland and Sam Goody.

114: The Donruss Dive

2022/03/18

In this episode, we take a deep dive into Donruss baseball cards. We primarily focus on the company's first decade or so of baseball card sets, discussing design motifs, iconic cards, and, of course, Diamond Kings. We even share a few of our favorites from over the years.

113: Choo-In Hall of Fame Inductions

2021/12/15

112: Field Guide to the Bay Area

2021/08/16

In this episode, we take you beyond the late '60s and into the heart of the Bay Area's diverse musical landscape. We also round the bases with two of baseball's more successful franchises, the Oakland A's and the San Francisco Giants. From Rickey Henderson to Madison Bumgarner to franchise owners with never-ending wanderlust, we discuss some of the area's baseball history. Then we share some of our favorite music from the area, from the Pointer Sisters to the Doobie Brothers to Metallica to Too Short, and much more.

111: Country Goes Cassette

2021/03/01

In this episode, we welcome guest panelist Tom Snyder as we cover country music from the 1980s and into the 1990s - an era that would welcome new trends, slicker production, and early forays into music video. From Urban Cowboy to Curb Records and Hank Jr. to The Judds we discuss the highs and lows of a genre that further cemented its place in the mainstream. Of course, we also attempt to tackle the 800-pound gorilla that is Garth Brooks.

110: Field Guide to the Twin Cities

2020/10/12

The Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota have been the source of a fair amount of rock and roll and baseball history. Along with guest panelist and musician Paulie Matushek, we cover a bit of each in this field guide. From the Replacements to Prince to Cory Wong, we share some of our favorite music to come from the area. Then we tackle some Twins history, from their championships at the Metrodome to all-time greats like Killebrew, Blyleven, Carew, and Puckett.
