Rob Maaddi, the longtime Eagles and Phillies sportswriter for the Associated Press—and also author of Birds of Pray (telling the story of the 2017-18 Eagles Super Bowl championship team through the eyes of believers on the team)—checks in with an update on the Phillies’ signing of outfielder Andrew McCutchen and a few thoughts on the Eagles’ Carson Wentz / Nick Foles situation at quarterback. Marc Shaiman, who composed the score and a number of songs for the brand new Mary Poppins Returns movie (out today), shares how he became involved with the film and other details surrounding its creation. J. Jackson, lead singer for ApologetiX (aka “That Christian Parody Band”), calls in as the group celebrates the recent release of its 53rd CD (That’s Too Bad). J also tells some of the backstory two of the 31 Christmas parodies the band has produced over the years and graciously gave away copies of their Classics: Christmas CD.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
