USA TODAY Sports
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Listeners who tune in to the USA TODAY fantasy sports podcast can expect a straightforward analysis of the most important topics of the week, mixed with compelling conversation between our stable of expert analysts … and some special guests from the world of sports.
At its peak during baseball season, two episodes of the podcast were produced each week. One on Tuesday that focused more on strategy and breaking news and one on Thursday geared toward potential waiver wire pickups and setting lineups for the upcoming week.
For football season, our experts offered analysis of the 2016 rookie class immediately after the draft in April, and continued to provide fantasy rankings and insight leading up to the start of the season.
As a way to connect with our listeners, we had mailbag segments where we answered questions submitted on Twitter during the week.
And the thing that differentiates our podcast from just about any other one out there is that we’re able to leverage our access to MLB clubhouses — Senior Fantasy Editor Steve Gardner is a member of the Baseball Writers Association of America — to talk to players about what they experience on the field.
This past season we featured interviews with MLB stars Adam Jones, Justin Upton, Carlos Correa and Francisco Lindor, as well as top prospects Lucas Giolito and Dansby Swanson.
The USA TODAY fantasy sports podcast provides both the scouting and statistical perspective to help give fantasy owners a balanced and well-rounded look at the ways they can improve their teams and win their leagues.
