After a 3-3 road trip through the land of transplanted teams and lakes with too many names, The Put it in the Books Show is back with its second episode of Season 8! Farace, Rodriguez, and Keith are on deck, while Producer Joe takes the night off—probably still recovering from his scouting trip to find the best hot dog stand at Target Field.The Mets head back to Citi Field with an 11-7 record, a team ERA of 2.38 (best in baseball), and an offense that continues to hit like it's allergic to the month of April. They're batting .219 as a team (21st in MLB), which somehow looks worse when you realize half of the team's errors belong to Francisco Lindor, who apparently wanted to make sure fans stayed warm by keeping the gloves moving. But are Mets fans overreacting to the defensive struggles of an elite shortstop, or should we expect cleaner play from a guy getting paid like a defensive anchor?In center field, Jose Siri is hurt—again. So who should get the majority of the playing time? The crew debates whether the next man up is the answer or just a placeholder until someone actually hits .250.And in what can only be described as the most Mets thing ever, Francisco Alvarez homered in a rehab game, then got hit on the exact same hand he broke. Luckily, he's going to be okay—but is the universe just messing with us at this point?Plus: do injuries sometimes fast track the future? With younger players being thrown into the fire earlier than expected, are we getting a sneak preview of what the next generation of Mets might look like? And should we be concerned that said sneak preview includes a .219 team average?We'll also preview the upcoming seven-game homestand against the Cardinals and Phillies, which means we're about to find out whether the Mets are contenders, pretenders, or just really good at ruining Philly fans' weeks.Join us for all that, plus dry humor, overreactions, and Rodriguez trying to claim he predicted this pitching dominance all along. It's Season 8, Episode 2. Let's put it in the books!

The 2025 regular season is underway, and *The Put it in the Books Show* returns for Season 8 with a fresh batch of overreactions, mild panic, and… an actual winning record? That's right, the Mets are off to an 8-4 start after a strong 5-1 homestand against the Blue Jays and the Marlins—who somehow still have a team and a TV deal, much to Farace's disappointment. Producer Joe is likely out tonight (probably scouting hot dog stands or auditioning for a Citi Field hype video), so Farace, Rodriguez, and Keith are left to dig into a team that's **pitching like champs and hitting like they forgot it's not still March**. The Mets are rocking a league-best **2.10 ERA**, but hitting a **painful .210 as a team**, which means the offense currently consists of "hope and vibes." Meanwhile, the much-hyped youth movement—**Vientos, Baty, and Acuña**—have all started ice cold, and not just because of the Citi Field wind chill. It's been rough, and if you're wondering whether Rodriguez is ready to bench all three, tune in for what may be the first of many impassioned rants. We've got **injury updates** on Manaea, Alvarez, and McNeil, who are all missing time for a variety of very Mets reasons, and a preview of the upcoming road trip to face the **Sacramento A's (yes, that's still weird to say)** and the Twins. The crowds at Citi Field have been surprisingly strong despite the arctic temps, proving that Mets fans will show up and suffer—just like the hosts of this show. So grab a jacket, lower your batting average expectations, and tune in for another episode filled with stats, sarcasm, and the kind of unfiltered Mets talk that no one asked for but everyone secretly needs. Let's put it in the books!

Guests: Joe Boyd, Record Producer & Author of And the Roots of Rhythm Remain Joe Boyd is a legend in music. He was the soundman when Dylan went electric at Newport, the founder of the legendary UFO club in London, and the producer of seminal works by Nick Drake, Pink Floyd, John Martyn, Fairport Convention, R.E.M., and many more. In the 1980s, Boyd pioneered global music through his label Hannibal Records, which brought the world everything from the greatest in Cuban music to Bulgarian throat singing and Afropop. Joe's experience in the 1960s was profiled in his 2007 memoir, White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s. Now, Joe has created a comprehensive history of world music in his new book, And the Roots of Rhythm Remain. Boyd explores centuries of fascinating backstories to these sounds in this sweeping 900-page history, compiled from more than a decade of travel, research, interviews, and deep listening. He shows how personalities, events, and politics in places such as Havana, Lagos, Budapest, Kingston, and Rio are as colorful and momentous as anything in New Orleans, Harlem, Laurel Canyon, or Liverpool. Moreover, jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock 'n' roll would never have happened if it weren't for the notes and rhythms emanating from over the horizon. "Reading is Funktamental" is a monthly one-hour show about great books written about music and music-makers. In each episode, host Sal Cataldi speaks to the authors of some of the best reads about rock, jazz, punk, world, experimental music, and much more. From time to time, the host and authors will be joined by notable musicians, writers, and artists who are die-hard fans of the subject matter covered. Expect lively conversation and a playlist of great music to go with it. "Reading Is Funktamental" can be heard the second Wednesday of every month from 10 – 11 AM on Wave Farm: WGXC 90.7 FM and online at wavefarm.org. It can also be found as a podcast on Apple, Spotify and other platforms. Sal Cataldi is a musician and writer based in Saugerties. He is best known for his work with his genre-leaping solo project, Spaghetti Eastern Music, and is also a member of the ambient guitar duo, Guitars A Go Go, the poetry and music duo, Vapor Vespers, and the quartet, Spaceheater. His writing on music, books and film has been featured in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, PopMatters, Seattle Times, Huffington Post, Inside+Out Upstate NY, and NYSMusic.com, where he is the book reviewer.

Spring Training is officially over, and we are just two days away from Opening Day. On this week's episode of The Put it in the Books Show, the full crew is back together as Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (still lurking behind the wall) get ready for the season to begin.With Opening Day around the corner, the guys dive into the starting rotation. Who's locked in, who still has something to prove, and what could go right or wrong as the season gets underway?There's also some concern with Edwin Díaz's velocity being down this spring. Should Mets fans be worried, or is this just a typical slow ramp-up for a closer? The crew debates what this means for the bullpen and if there's anything to read into before the season starts.And with the season about to begin, it's time for bold predictions for 2025—both for the Mets and across the league. Who's winning divisions? Who's taking home hardware? And most importantly, are the Mets set up to make a deep October run?It's also good vibes all around, with the Mets landing on the cover of Sports Illustrated and Citi Field winning Best Ballpark Food for the third straight year. The food is elite, the excitement is high, and the countdown to Opening Day is almost over.Tune in as the guys break it all down with the usual mix of insight, humor, and maybe even a rare Producer Joe hot take. Let's put it in the books!

Spring Training rolls on, and so does *The Put it in the Books Show*! This week, the full crew is back together as Rodriguez makes his triumphant return from the IL—though he insists he was just "day-to-day." Join Farace, Keith, and Producer Joe (still lurking behind the wall) as they break down the latest Mets news with the usual mix of dry humor, analysis, and a little well-earned skepticism. First up: injuries. Sean Manaea is progressing after his oblique injury, while Jeff McNeil is hurt again—something Rodriguez blames on too much golf. The big question: does this injury cost McNeil his job? With Brett Baty now set to platoon with Luisangel Acuña at second base, the Mets may be looking at a future without their scrappy contact hitter. On the mound, David Peterson continues to step up, making a strong case for himself in the rotation. Meanwhile, the Mets have named Clay Holmes their Opening Day starter, a move that could be brilliant or a complete wildcard. With Tylor Megill and Paul Blackburn looking to solidify roles as well, the Mets' pitching depth is getting its first real test. And let's talk culture. Is this the best team culture the Mets have ever had? With stars, depth, and a front office that actually knows what it's doing, the guys will debate whether this is truly a new era in Queens or if we're all just drinking the Spring Training Kool-Aid. Tune in as the crew dissects the latest Mets developments, welcomes Rodriguez back into the fold, and gets ready for Opening Day. The countdown is on—let's put it in the books!

The Put it in the Books Show '25 Spring Training Special #2: Mets Rankings, Early Standouts & Alvarez Concerns Spring Training is rolling along, and so is *The Put it in the Books Show*! This week, Farace, Keith, and the ever-mysterious Producer Joe (still comfortably stationed behind the wall) take the reins once again while Rodriguez remains on the IL—or maybe he's just dodging Spring Training like a veteran pitcher with a sore arm. First up: Francisco Alvarez. The young catcher's situation is causing some early spring concerns, and we'll break down what it means for the Mets moving forward and if the team needs to start considering backup plans. Next, we'll dive into MLB Network's “Top 10 Right Now” rankings and check out which Mets made the cut at their respective positions. Are these rankings fair, or are we looking at another case of the national media disrespecting the orange and blue? Finally, we'll take a closer look at how some Mets are performing this spring. Who's hot? Who's cold? And most importantly, which overreactions can we start making immediately? With Rodriguez out, Producer Joe behind the wall, and Keith likely bringing an Excel sheet of unnecessary stats, this episode is guaranteed to have it all. Tune in as we break down all things Mets, Spring Training, and the early signs of what's to come in 2025. Baseball is back, and it's time to put it in the books! #FranciscoAlvarez #Mets #PutItInTheBooks #PiitB

Kim Wilde burst on to the music scene in 1981 with 'Kids In America' and has since been a mainstay of pop. Kim loves music and gardening and performing and she sits down with Gaby for a cuppa to talk about all these things and more. She's also a big fan of sea swimming (Producer Joe approves) and paddle boarding - and tells Gaby how she's finding more and more hobbies and passions later in life. We hope you enjoy the chat and maybe get some inspiration from it too! And remember, you can watch all our episodes on our YouTube channel - which is where you'll also find our bonus Show & Tell episodes, each and every Friday! Hosted on Acast.

Spring Training is here, Mets baseball is back, and so is The Put it in the Books Show! Farace and Keith are holding it down this week while Producer Joe and Rodriguez conveniently take the night off—probably recovering from the stress of the offseason or just avoiding the work like a veteran skipping Spring Training drills.The Mets are kicking off 2025 with high expectations, and why wouldn't they? The team made the biggest splash of the offseason, signing Juan Soto to a 15-year, $765 million deal, proving once again that Steve Cohen has pockets deeper than a Citi Field rain delay. Meanwhile, Pete Alonso flirted with free agency, but in the end, the Polar Bear is back where he belongs, signing a two-year, $54 million deal—because what's a Mets playoff run without a few Alonso moonshots?Of course, no Mets season would be complete without an injury update, and Frankie Montas is the early winner of the “First Guy on the IL” award after a lat strain is set to sideline him for a significant chunk of time. Because why wait until April for rotation problems when you can start early?And then there's Steve Cohen, who isn't exactly thrilled that the Mets finished 18th in attendance last season, despite a playoff run that had Citi Field rocking. The guys will break down his comments and what it means for the fan base moving forward—because when an owner spends like Cohen, he expects the seats to be filled.With a new season, big names, and unfinished business from last year's playoffs, the excitement is back in Queens. Tune in as we break it all down, crack some jokes, and get ready for another wild ride with the Mets. Baseball is back, and the fun is just beginning! #Mets #PiitB

While they all often have multiple picks per category, Jimmy still has trouble narrowing down his choices (as usual). Hang in there for the ride as there a tons of great picks from the gang! Of course, as we always say, these picks are what we read/saw and we didn't read/see EVERYTHING. Do understand if we don't talk about some of your faves.

It's a brand-new offseason, and *The Put it in the Books Show* is back with an episode that Mets fans won't want to miss. Join Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and the elusive Producer Joe (still hiding behind the wall like the Wilpons hid their checkbook during the Madoff era) as they break down the biggest moves of the offseason so far—starting with the bombshell news that Juan Soto is now a Met. That's right, Soto signed the biggest contract in North American sports history: 15 years, up to $805 million. Looks like the Coupons are long gone, and Steve Cohen is playing Monopoly with real money.But the Mets aren't done yet. The guys will discuss whether Pete Alonso will be next to lock in a deal or if he's stuck testing the open market, where he's reportedly struggling to find the long-term contract he's after. Will Pete stay in orange and blue, or is it time to panic-buy polar bear plushies? On the pitching front, the Mets made moves by signing Clay Holmes to a 3-year deal to bolster the rotation and picking up Griffin Canning on a low-risk, 1-year depth contract. With rumors of a cheap trade for a big name on the horizon, Mets fans can't help but wonder: Is this team finally ready to dominate, or are we setting ourselves up for another rollercoaster season? Tune in as the hosts break it all down with their trademark dry wit, overanalysis, and a healthy dose of nostalgia for the days when spending like this was just a pipe dream. With the Mets back in the playoffs and building for an even brighter future, it's an offseason filled with hope, excitement, and a touch of chaos—just how we like it. #PiitB #Mets

Producer Joe shares a special appearance made by a Jet-ski Santa, an NFL falling through over a Madden Rating, and an embarrassing Doug Gottlieb loss.

This week on The Put it in the Books Show, Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and the ever-mysterious Producer Joe (still more cryptic than a bullpen meeting) wrap up the 2024 Mets season in style. The guys will look back at their preseason predictions to see how wildly off base they were—spoiler alert: it's going to be funnier than Keith trying to explain WAR to Rodriguez.The Mets' 2024 campaign saw them return to the playoffs, making it an exciting year for fans in Flushing. Now, with the hot stove heating up, the conversation shifts to free agency and one name on everyone's radar: Juan Soto. Rumors suggest he's about to sign a deal worth $650 million, a number so high even Producer Joe might come out from behind the wall to negotiate a cut.Join us for a mix of nostalgia, humor, and offseason speculation as we reflect on a thrilling season and look ahead to what promises to be an exciting winter for Mets fans. Whether you're here for the analysis, the jokes, or just to see who admits they were dead wrong about their preseason takes, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Mets baseball is back, and the future is looking bright—just like Soto's bank account. #Mets #PiitB

The fellas got busy with life, so we're airing an episode of Producer Joe's podcast, The Ethical Entrepreneur, starring Gomer!

Gomer and I chat about his background as a speaker, credentialism in the nonprofit world, and how to improve your communication skills. Enjoy!

This week on The Put it in the Books Show, Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and the elusive Producer Joe (who's still more of a ghost than a host) dive into what might just be the most exciting Mets playoff run in years. The Mets knocked the Phillies out of the postseason by taking games 3 and 4 in true dramatic fashion, proving that everyone on this team is stepping up when it matters most—something Keith wishes he could say about Rodriguez's fantasy team. Lindor continues to amaze, showing why he's the heart and soul of this team, while Vientos is developing into a superstar right before our eyes. Farace is already claiming he called it, but let's be honest, his predictions are as reliable as the Mets bullpen on a bad day. The Mets split the first two games of the NLCS in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, and now they're heading back to Citi Field for three games in front of a crowd that's going to be louder than Keith when someone mentions analytics. It's playoff baseball in Flushing, and the excitement is off the charts. Join us as we break down the action, poke a little fun at each other, and get ready for what could be the most electric stretch of Mets baseball in years. Playoff fever is here, and if you're a Mets fan, you're in for a wild ride—just don't expect Producer Joe to say it to your face.

This week on *The Put it in the Books Show*, Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and the ever-elusive Producer Joe (who's still hiding behind the wall like the Mets' secret weapon) are back to break down the Mets' playoff journey so far! With a split in Philadelphia to kick off the National League Division Series, the Mets are heading home to Citi Field, ready to defend their turf for the first time in 16 days. It's like Keith's enthusiasm for advanced stats finally paying off, and it's got Mets fans buzzing with excitement. Senga and Peterson pitched us to a clutch game 1 win, showing everyone why they've earned their postseason stripes. Meanwhile, McNeil is taking batting practice and hoping to make a timely return from injury, just in time for the big playoff push—because, let's be real, what's a Mets postseason without a little injury drama? Vientos has been showing what he's made of all season, proving he belongs in the big leagues and giving Farace another reason to act like he saw this coming all along. As the Mets prepare for two huge games in Flushing on Tuesday and Wednesday, the guys will break down the matchups and get into the nitty-gritty of what it's going to take to defend home turf. Tune in as the excitement builds, the dry humor flies, and the Mets look to bring October magic back to Citi Field. It's playoff time, folks, and you won't want to miss a minute of it—especially since Producer Joe might just make an actual appearance... or not. #PiitB #Mets

This week on *The Put it in the Books Show*, Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and the elusive Producer Joe (still more of a myth than a man) celebrate the Mets clinching a Wild Card spot in Atlanta—right in front of the Braves, no less. It's a sweet feeling, kind of like Keith finally winning an argument about bullpen management. The Mets didn't just sneak into the playoffs; they kicked the door down with some big-time heroics. Nimmo and Lindor came through with massive home runs to silence Atlanta on Monday, and last night the Mets stunned the Brewers with a strong showing and one of those big innings that gives Rodriguez reason to believe in destiny—or at least in batting averages. With game 1 of the Wild Card series against the Brewers already in the bag, the Mets are looking to close it out tonight, and there's a buzz in the air that's got the Citi Field faithful ready to erupt. Tune in as we break down all the action, the excitement, and maybe even what Producer Joe's been up to behind the wall (besides scouting seats for the playoff run). The Mets are back in the postseason, and you better believe we're here to celebrate every minute of it—even if it means Farace might finally get to say, “I told you so.” Don't miss it—playoff fever is here! #Mets #PiitB

This week on *The Put it in the Books Show*, Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (still comfortably hidden behind the wall, possibly avoiding the tension) break down the latest in Mets baseball, and it's getting electric! After taking 3 of 4 from the Phillies in a series that had Citi Field rocking like Rodriguez's fantasy lineup (minus the disappointment), the Mets are in control of their own destiny with just 5 games left to decide their fate. Up next, the Mets head to Milwaukee for 3 games before the big doubleheader against the Braves on Monday—assuming MLB doesn't trip over itself bowing down to Atlanta's whims. Apparently, overriding Braves decisions is as unlikely as Producer Joe actually coming out from behind the wall. Lindor, our undisputed Mets MVP, is ready to return, back issues and all, determined to carry the team across the finish line, while Senga is back on track and ready to add some heat of his own. And let's not forget those amazing Citi Field crowds during the Phillies series—who knew Mets fans could get louder than Keith during a bad call? Tune in as we poke fun at the season's twists and turns, while simultaneously holding our collective breath for October. It's crunch time, and we're here for it... unless Producer Joe is plotting another mysterious escape. #PiitB #Mets

It's an exciting time to be a Mets fan, and this week's episode of *The Put it in the Books Show* is ready to break it all down—assuming Rodriguez can make it. Farace, Keith, and Producer Joe (still behind the wall, probably plotting his next vanishing act) will recap the Mets' offensive explosion against the Nationals, outscoring them 22-1 in a 3-game sweep that had us wondering if the Nats showed up at all. While the bats were hot, the Citi Field crowd was a bit cooler than expected—attendance for the Nationals series left something to be desired. But fear not, Mets fans, now's the time to make up for it with a huge 4-game showdown against the Phillies. The team is tied for the second wild card spot, and they'll need every ounce of fan energy to help them through this crucial series. The bench continues to step up, with Luis Angel Acuña making the most of his opportunity while Lindor rests his back for a few games. Meanwhile, Senga's return is just around the corner, adding some firepower to a rotation gearing up for the final stretch. Tune in for the usual mix of dry humor, overly detailed analysis, and a dash of hope as the Mets fight for October. This is crunch time, folks, so get ready to pack Citi Field and make some noise—this is no time for quiet bleachers!

We continue to celebrate the life of the legendary cartoonist John Cassaday who tragically died on September 9th. He was one of Jimmy's closest friends. Jimmy shares some stories of their friendship and adventures. He also asked some of John's friends/colleagues to send in their memories of him as well. They talk about his incredible body of work, how they met, fun times together and more. Thanks so much to Ben Raab, Paul Pope, Heidi MacDonald, CB Cebulski, John Layman, Fabio Moon, Laura Martin, Michael Avon Oeming, Lorraine Cink, Nick Barrucci, Dean Haspiel, Marta Balusek and Producer Joe for sharing their reflections on John. This is an emotional and raw episode but also full of love and light. We all love and miss him terribly. We were all lucky to have him in our lives. His legacy will keep his energy around us eternally.  Thanks for listening.

This week on *The Put it in the Books Show*, excitement is at an all-time high for Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and a mysteriously quiet Producer Joe hiding behind the wall as the Mets cling to a 1-game lead over the Braves (or as we like to call them, “Craplanta”) for the last wild card spot. With only 17 games left, things are getting as intense as Farace's fantasy football drafts, but this time it's actually about a sport that matters. The next stretch is going to be a battle as the Mets face the Phillies (affectionately nicknamed “the Filthies”) in 7 of the next 10 games, and the team is showing a never-surrender attitude that would make even Keith believe in miracles—or at least in consistent starting pitching. The Mets have won 13 of their last 15 games, and with Lindor making a serious MVP case, this is prime “Ya Gotta Believe” season. With playoff hopes alive and a rocking Citi Field crowd to back them up, the excitement is palpable. Join us as we break down the final sprint toward October, making sure to sprinkle in some dry humor about Rodriguez's obsession with hitting stats and Producer Joe's continued role as the most elusive figure in podcasting. It's an exciting time to be a Mets fan—don't miss out! #PiitB #Mets

It's an exciting time to be a Mets fan, and this week's episode of *The Put it in the Books Show* is ready to break it all down—minus Producer Joe, who's busy scaring the monsters at Halloween Horror Nights (because apparently, they need a break from Mets fans). Farace, Rodriguez, and Keith are here to dive into the action, and the vibes are as hot as the Mets' 7-game winning streak. The Mets just swept both the White Sox and Red Sox, and Citi Field has been rocking harder than Rodriguez at a buffet with unlimited nachos. Meanwhile, Kodai Senga is throwing bullpen sessions and might make his return by 9/25—if his arm doesn't decide to pull a "Producer Joe" and take the rest of the season off. In the MVP race, it's Lindor vs. Ohtani, and the guys will tackle the impossible question: How do you compare a two-way sensation with a guy who makes shortstop look like an art form? It's like comparing Keith's love for stats to Rodriguez's love for… anything but stats. The starting pitching has been strong, and as a result, the bullpen is actually doing its job, a miracle that's left the Mets fan base in unfamiliar territory—optimism. With 22 games left in the season, it's time to see who can handle the pressure and who will melt like a Mets fan in an August heatwave. Join us for all this and more, as the excitement at Citi Field builds and the dream of October baseball is looking more real than ever. Don't miss it, because the only thing scarier than missing a Mets game right now is whatever Producer Joe is up to at Halloween Horror Nights. #Mets #PiitB

Connor update the polls and Producer Joe tells you what's on TV tonight.

In this week's episode of *The Put it in the Books Show*, Farace, Rodriguez, and Keith are back to dissect the latest Mets action—while Producer Joe takes half the show off, presumably to rest up for his next mysterious appearance behind the wall. The Mets are coming off a successful stretch, taking 4 of 6 from the Marlins and Orioles, complete with the kind of dramatics that make you wonder if the team secretly moonlights in Broadway musicals. With just 36 games left to determine if the Mets will be playing in October or just planning their fall vacations, the tension is higher than Rodriguez's blood pressure during a close game. Francisco Lindor made history, becoming the first shortstop ever to hit at least 25 home runs and steal 25 bases in three or more seasons. It's a stat so impressive, even Keith had to pause his rant on bullpen usage to give a nod of approval. But the real test is on the horizon as the Mets prepare for their most crucial road trip of the season: four games against the Padres and three against the Diamondbacks—both teams that are ahead of the Mets in the wild card standings. It's a West Coast showdown that could make or break the season, or at least give Farace something to yell about. Tune in as the guys break it all down with their usual mix of dry humor and reluctant optimism. Whether or not the Mets make it to October, this episode will have you more entertained than watching Keith try to explain sabermetrics. #PiitB #Mets --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/popculturepros/support

Our hosts present their bathwater samples for Producer Joe to drink with varying degrees of cleanliness...

Ty Franck (one half of James S.A. Corey) and Wes Chatham ('Amos Burton' on The Expanse) actually agreed with Producer Joe for once so we did an episode dedicated to awesome Bad Guys & their squads.
