Advertise on podcast: Tall Can Audio - A Pint Of Canadian Sports Talk

A really interesting edition of TCA today as Matt Robinson catches up with long time friend of the show Sean Fitz-Gerald to discuss his most recent work on a terrific project with Cassie Campbell-Pascall called "Just A Girl." We were thrilled to have the chance to talk to Sean about why Cassie was the type of athlete he wanted to work with, why it didn't necessarily come together on the first approach, some of the story-telling choices that were made that allowed this look-back to maintain a since of urgency for the reader, what Cassie's lasting legacy in the broadcast world might be and plenty more. And while we had Sean on the phone we took advantage of the moment to pick his brain on some of the current blowback on the state of hockey broadcasting in Canada. The book is available now in hard copy, Kindle format and even in audiobook read by Cassie herself.

It's that time of year once more and to everyone's surprise MLB has decided to carry on with a World Series despite a notable lack of the Toronto Blue Jays. Why even bother? Our friend Joshua Howsam returns to the podcast to help us tee up the series ahead of first pitch between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays. Who has the pitching edge between these top heavy rotations? Can Tampa's grinders hang in there with some of those big Brewer bats? Who are the names we're all about to get to know? Later on conversation turns to whether or not anyone should care about this low payroll / small market conversation and whether it could play a part in the upcoming labour negotiations. Plus some thoughts on what the Jays might do in a sprint of a free agency period ahead of the end of the world. Give Joshua a follow on Twitter @JoshuaHowsam.
