Now, nominally, this is a podcast about the Chicago Cubs. We have, each of us, grown up with the Cubs. The sounds of Harry and Steve were the soundtrack of long ago summers; the Cubs were as much a part of summer as chasing fireflies, breathing the dewy humidity of the cool Midwestern evenings, and playing catch until the sun set. Halcyon days, to be sure.

Nominally, this is a podcast, and what’s more, a celebration of those memories. The reality, however, is far darker. This is a fat camp. Welcome to the Fat Cast.

In this episode!

• Biggest surprises and biggest disappointments this season.
• Dolan’s picks of top 20 Will Ferrell movies.
• The name and address of the listener we plan on visiting at 2am for an impromptu slumber party.
• Fifteen minutes of almost total silence, punctuated only by the sounds of chewing.
• Yanni.

Join us, won’t you? What do you have to lose, except 60 minutes of your finite life?
