PHILADELPHIA, PA – October 27, 2022 – As the 2022 Major League Baseball World Series gets underway, Audacy (NYSE: AUD) has announced the launch of Baseball Isn’t Boring, a new national daily podcast that will dive into the sport’s hottest topics and headlines, both on and off the field. 

Hosted by Audacy’s Rob Bradford – a longtime baseball columnist, author and broadcaster for WEEI (WEEI-FM) in Boston – the podcast is a project born from the ‘Baseball Isn’t Boring’ campaign instituted by Bradford and major league pitcher Joe Kelly. Along with co-authoring the soon-to-be-released book, “A Damn Near Perfect Game: Reclaiming America’s Pastime,” the duo have spent the entirety of 2022 using social media and other outlets to prove baseball is, in fact, anything but boring. Kelly will join as the podcast’s first guest in the debut episode. 

The show will combine interviews with notable guests, topics, listener participation, social media and video. Every episode will feature a notable guest from the baseball and/or entertainment world and will cover topics that the baseball world and its biggest fans are interested in.

“As we wrap up what has been a very ‘un-boring’ postseason, we’re thrilled to launch this fun new daily podcast to rally behind the great sport of baseball – America’s national pastime,” said Bradford. “I look forward to speaking with some of the biggest names in sports to prove that baseball is alive and thriving.”

A social media campaign with various sports stars, including Clemson football head coach Dabo Swinney, MLB manager Joe Maddon and Los Angeles Dodger Mookie Betts giving short explanations for why baseball isn’t boring, is underway. Fans can join the movement on Twitter and Instagram at @bbisntboring.
