🚨 Today we launch Chatter Up, a new podcast from Extra Innings Travel that explores the global identity and unifying powers of baseball. Shane has been eager to make this happen since he stopped hosting JapanBall’s “Chatter Up!” Zoom series, and is excited to release it into the world.
On this new iteration of Chatter Up, Shane will share conversations with people who have unique insights into our beloved game. But to kick things off, we turned the mic on Shane.
🎙️ Listen and subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple!
We recommend YouTube as the best place to see the “show and tell” items that Shane and guests will bring each episode.
