Our Editor's Take

Phillies Talk: A Philadelphia Phillies Podcast reports on the MLB team from various vantage points. It lets fans know what is happening with the squad, whether it's active or not. The show is a production of NBC Sports Philadelphia. This means that fans can expect the same high-quality reporting here that they see on TV each week.

The hosts of this podcast are Ricky Bottalico and Corey Seidman. The former is likely to be familiar to long-term Phillies fans. Bottalico began his MLB career in 1994 as a relief pitcher for the Phillies. He maintained that position for another four years before leaving the team in 1998. In 1996, Bottalico received the distinction of being an All-Star player. After playing for several other teams, he returned to Philly for the 2001-2002 season. In 2005, Bottalico ended his career after playing for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Podcast host Seidman has been reporting on the Phillies for well over a decade. He began his career in April 2011 as the host of the local TV program Phillies Nation. Seidman was previously a sports radio host for CBS Radio. In August 2011, he joined the NBC Sports Philadelphia team as an analyst and writer/producer.

The focus of the podcast changes throughout the year. Most of the program focuses on stats analysis and player reports when the team is active. Listeners looking to know how superstars like Bryce Harper are playing can find out here. When the team is not active, player trades and coaching changes are the primary topics. What big free-agent signings are on the horizon? Who will be in the starting rotation? These are the kinds of questions fans want to know, and the hosts do their best to answer them.

New episodes of Phillies Talk: A Philadelphia Phillies Podcast air on a floating schedule throughout the year.
