Summary of Episode 41 - Stacker Sports Podcast
In this episode of the Stacker Sports Podcast, hosts discuss various sports topics, including their podcast's ranking on Fountain (currently at 12th for the show and 6th for Episode 40), updates on cricket, AFL, baseball, and basketball, as well as fantasy sports leagues and upcoming events.
  1. Podcast Rankings and Community Engagement: The hosts celebrate their improved rankings on Fountain and attribute potential boosts to upcoming guest appearances and international listenership, especially from India due to cricket discussions.
  2. Cricket Update: They highlight the surprising success of Major League Cricket, particularly the victory of MI New York, and express enthusiasm for the sport's growing popularity.
  3. AFL (Australian Football League): The hosts note the increased intensity in AFL games as the regular season nears its end, with playoff pushes heating up. A personal anecdote involves teaching a child to play using a makeshift ball, showcasing the sport's accessibility for kids.
  4. Baseball Highlights: The Home Run Derby is a major focus, praised for its excitement and unpredictability, with notable performances by Junior Camonero and the winner, referred to as "Big Dumper." They also discuss the All-Star Game's tiebreaker format (a mini home run derby) and share experiences with prediction markets during these events.
  5. Fantasy Baseball and Football: The hosts review their ongoing fantasy baseball league matchups, noting extended weeks due to the All-Star break, and discuss upcoming fantasy football plans, including potential high-profile participants and buy-ins for prize pools.
  6. NBA and Roster Moves: Key NBA topics include Bradley Beal joining the Clippers, Damian Lillard returning to the Trailblazers, and Luka Doncic's improved physical condition. They also touch on LeBron James' potential future moves and summer league performances.
  7. NFL and Defensive Players: Discussion centers on TJ Watt becoming the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL, with comparisons to other top defensive ends like Myles Garrett, Maxx Crosby, and Nick Bosa.
  8. Prediction Markets and Future Ideas: The hosts brainstorm new prediction market ideas for platforms like PredictIt, including NFL fantasy points leaders, LA teams winning championships, and potential MLB lockouts in the next spring.
  9. Canadian Sports Drought: They reflect on the lack of major championships for Canadian teams since the early 1990s (except for the Raptors in 2019), contrasting this with LA's sports success, and propose a friendly wager on which region wins a title first.
  10. Miscellaneous: Other topics include historical sports drafts (e.g., Andrea Bargnani as the 2006 NBA first pick), personal sports memories, and lighthearted banter about past and upcoming sports events.
The episode wraps up with thanks to listeners and a promise to return next week, maintaining a casual and engaging tone throughout.

Alright. Got fed up of being frustrated by this software and spent half an hour figuring it out. We are good with 10 second countdown. I will be able to cut it seamlessly next week.

I thought it was good this week.
I feel like the AI compression is more noticeable on this episode.

It was good but I cut off your howdy stackers. Very noticeable. Is it possible to turn it down a notch?

What software you're talking about?

Audacity. The free software I use to add the music to the beginning and end of our pod. Have been trying to figure out how to seamlessly cut an automated ad that gets put at the beginning by riverside fm which is the software we use to record the pod.

Yes, free version is good but obviously not as many features as paid.
