A Pod of Their Own, Episode 293: October means the postseason and National Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we begin by announcing October 17 as the new date for our annual Dollars for Dingers fundraiser to support the National Domestic Violence Hotline. We hope to see you there! We also chat about the playoffs, the darkness encroaching on the Phillies, which teams we’re rooting for, and whether the Brewers or White Sox have more powerful divine intervention on their side. We also honor a back log of mensches for a loaded Mensch of the Week segment: Sean Manaea, Howie Rose, and the Mets’ rookie class. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
