Greg Rempe is the creator and host of the longest running and most listened to show dealing with live fire cooking, The BBQ Central Show. He has been extremely supportive of our show with advice, support, and encouragement. We wanted Greg back to learn more about him, his show, what it takes to produce a successful podcast, his opinions on barbecue and baseball and much more. His show can be heard live every Tuesday night from 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm and is released in podcast format; the first hour on Wednesday and the second hour on Thursday. Then on Fridays you can catch up on parts of past episodes listening to The Best Moments of The BBQ Central Show in 10 Minutes or Less.

Douglas J. Jordan is a retired college professor. His baseball articles have been published in the Baseball Research Journal and NINE: A Journal of Baseball History and Culture. He joins us to discuss his newest book, 3,000: Baseball's Elite Clubs for Hits and Strikeouts. This book goes into detail about the elite players in each category, describing how they collected their historic hit or strikeout and their age at the time. Discover the pitchers who gave up a 3,000th hit and the victims of a 3,000th strikeout. This book covers the near-miss men, the ones who almost made it to the milestone, and predicts which players might reach 3,000 hits or strikeouts next. This comprehensive volume tracks all players who have reached this impressive achievement, all who missed it by a hair, and some who might be poised to claim the title.
We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.
We truly appreciate our listeners and hope that all of you are staying safe.
