Horsing Around
11 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsHorsing Around bucks the traditional athlete podcast. Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Pete Fairbanks throws the old format a curveball and hosts a range of guests to discuss the superiority of Brussels sprouts, play games like Watch, Re-Watch, Shelve, and, of course, honor the greatest Pokémon of all, Blaziken. There will not be an appearance from BoJack Horseman, but you will get Players Weekend style content, all of the time. Less deep, less researched, but way more entertaining than Revisionist History, this is Horsing Around.
