Introducing the Stealing Signals podcast

With a live show on YouTube today at 2 p.m. ET

I’m excited to announce something today, but I do have to start with an apology that the initial timeline is tight. Before I get too deep into this post, I want to note that the first live stream for a new Stealing Signals solo podcast will be at 2 p.m. ET today, which can be viewed here. If you miss the show, you can always watch back later.

This is something I’ve been working on/trying to find the right context for over the past couple years, really. As you likely know, I already do Stealing Bananas over at RotoViz, and Ship Chasing as a YouTube stream. I’ve really enjoyed that format — with the live comments and interaction with viewers — and it was the basis for the Signals Gold streams last regular season, which were an absolute blast.

I do have to be somewhat protective of my time still, because I have to keep myself available for my now 13-year-old and 8-year-old daughters, particularly this time of year since I’m not winning any “world’s best dad” awards in the fall. But that’s why I’ll be doing these streams during the day, while they are at school.

The focus for now will be on Underdog best ball drafts — I’m not able to draft them live, but I’m in 45 slow drafts, and as of now I’m on the clock in 12 of them. I’ll be making my pick for those 12 (and any others where I wind up on the clock in the next 90 minutes or during the show) and talking through strategy and structural builds for all those different teams, as the core of the show. I have a couple other fun things planned as well, so swing by and hang out, and bring some good questions.

If you miss it, no worries because I don’t think it’ll be too long before I fire up another show. I can’t make the trips out of state to enter slow drafts as frequently as I’d like, so my thinking right now is I’ll maybe do multiple shows per week while I have drafts going, because I need to carve out time to make all those picks anyway. But then there may be multiple weeks at a time where there are no shows while I find time to enter more drafts.

I know some of you won’t be able to watch on YouTube, so I should also note that I’ll be hoping to post the audio on a podcast feed eventually as well.

There’s plenty still to be determined, and I’ll have more updates as we go. But I look forward to getting started today!

I should also note that for those of you who aren’t the podcast types — I myself am more of a reader or viewer than a listener in terms of consumption — I’ll definitely have normal newsletter posts coming soon. I have several ideas I’ve been working on, and I’m definitely not in a position where I feel like I need to come up with good ideas this summer; instead, I’m already stressing about being able to flesh out all the ideas to the depth I want to, and getting everything written up in the best way I can. I hope you guys will enjoy those writeups as much as I’m thinking you will.

Until next time!
