The K.P. Wee Podcast K. P. Wee

Brett Hawn, the host of the Totally Goated podcast and a New York Mets fan, stops by to discuss the latest happenings in baseball two weeks into the 2024 season. The topics of discussion include the Mets (of course!), the new MLB/Fanatics jerseys, the rise in the number of injuries to pitchers, and betting on sports. 

Stan Markotich, a former CJIV Radio news director, joins the podcast today to discuss the complex issue of sports betting.
Some key issues raised by Stan include the following: Why are fans allowed to wager on sports while athletes aren't able to -- and wouldn't sports betting itself ruin sports?

Keith O'Brien joins this episode to discuss his new book Charlie Hustle: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days of Baseball.
Keith, who grew up in Cincinnati and currently lives in New Hampshire, discusses why he wrote the book and what he hopes readers get out of it. He also shares the process of his writing and some tidbits of what surprised him during his research for this book.

Guest host Stan Markotich and regular host K.P. Wee discuss the topic of how ready students are, based on their observations as educators, to face their next step upon graduation.
K.P. shares many observations from his own experiences, some of which raise Stan's eyebrows in this thought-provoking discussion.

Michael Unger (UDeck1990 on X) joins this episode to discuss the recent player cards he posted, a list which includes Lee Smith, Tom Brunansky, Storm Davis, Mark Davis, Glenn Braggs, and Jim Gott. 
K.P. shares some obscure trivia about Gott, brings up the broken-bat at-bats that Braggs was known for, discusses memories about the other players (including TSN showing a graphic about all the "Davises" in baseball in 1993), and talks about the 1990 Reds as well as Mike Witt's $8 million, 3-year contract with the Yankees. 

Guest host Stan Markotich and regular host K.P. Wee explore the idea of whether today's high school seniors, based on their observations as educators, are ready for college or university.
