In the mid-late 19th century, people were playing a few different bat and ball games. Baseball eventually emerged as fan favorite and this is the story of how that happened.

This episode played out over a two and a half year period. Through conversations, research, and some field work, Origins tells three different stories in a single episode.

As work on new episodes continue, here's an episode from a show I produce for Castos called Audience. My work with castos takes me behind the scenes of all different kinds of cool audip projects and a while back I got to profile a really cool podcast called Northwoods Baseball Sleep Radio.

So with the permission of Castos, I'm sharing that episode with you here. It was first published on August 4, 2022 and was produced, narrated and editied by me.

If you enjoy behind the scenes looks at creative work, then Audience is worth checking out. Full spidoes can be found at the link below
