PODCAST: "The Breakdown" with Brandon Warne and Cole De Vries" (A running thread)

[Brandon Warne]

Hello Twins Daily friends. I've started a podcast with former Twins right-hander Cole De Vries, and I'm going to post them each week here in an effort to try build our leadership. Cool? Cool.

 

Here's episode one, with some goofy audio during minute one, but hopefully solid #content the rest of the way:

Here's the second edition of The Breakdown. Brandon and Cole are breaking down trade deadline and getting insights from a former major league player on spring training, trades, and preparation for big league pitchers. Check us out.

And finally, here's episode three. I'd say it is our best yet, but I am biased. 

 

I'll also tease that we have a huge guest booked, and we're hoping to get it done by the end of the week.

Brandon gave me a sneak peak/preview of the next episode and it is awesome! You'll definitely want to listen to that one.

 

I listed to Episode 4 yesterday and it is tremendous... I definitely enjoyed hearing the pitcher/catcher discussion with Cole. He wasn't afraid to tell you who his favorite catcher was (And wasn't) to work with.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Good stuff. Open and informative.

[Brandon Warne]

So we're still working on the audio from the Terry Ryan edition, but here's a fresh episode from Cole and me recorded just today:
