Spanning the globe to bring smoking hot BBQ talk with Ben Arnot from Smoking Hot Confessions and exceptional baseball talk with Joe Ceraulo, host of Ceraulo Sports Talk

Ben Arnot believes in the power of barbecue.  What exactly does that mean?  To Ben and his Smoking Hot Confessions team, "It is a power that is unique and mystifying.  It is the power to not only deliver delicious foods, but to bring people together and bind them in a way that little else can.  Family and friends come together whenever there is meat over a flame.  Old arguments are forgotten and fractured relationships are repaired.  At Smoking Hot Confessions, we truly believe that BBQ has the power to heal the world."  Beautiful thoughts from someone who has fallen in love with a style of cooking whose breadth is expanding worldwide and, in his native Australia, Ben is helping lead that growth.  Ben hosts the Smoking Hot Confessions Podcast,writes a blog as well as the eBooks, The Bacon Manifesto and 27 Lessons Learned From Competition BBQ, makes numerous guest appearances, writes for the Barbecue News Magazine, and is active on many social media platforms.  More information on Ben Arnot and Smoking Hot Confessions can be found at https://smokinghotconfessions.com/

Joe Ceraulo knows sports and conveys this knowledge in an extremely entertaining and professional manner.  As host of the podcast, Ceraulo Sports Talk as well as the podcast, Bleav In Queens he gets to convey his knowledge and opinions with sports fanatics everywhere.  He starts by telling us that baseball and BBQ are two of his favorite things, which immediately ingratiates himself with his hosts.  He has known from an early age that he was either going to make his living playing sports or talking about them.  He was a good athlete, but a much better talker, and we are the fortunate recipient.  Joe is a tremendous New York Mets fan, as his father has worked in the Mets organization for many years and Joe had the opportunity to work for them as well.  He is excited about the World Baseball Classic, but even more excited about the upcoming Major League Baseball season.  Working his way up in the sports talk industry has included an internship at SiriusXM where he had the opportunity to learn from one of sports talk radio's pioneers, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo.  Lots of exceptional baseball discussion and a smattering of barbecue talk.

We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home by the musician, Dave Dresser, and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.
