October 6, 2010 BP PodcastEpisode 20: Val Kilmer On A BisonIt's our special Post-Season Podcast. After last week's nearly three-hour rock opera, we got down to a more reasonable length despite a podcast record six guests. Following a brief dissertation on the would of baseball broadcasting, a slew of fine folks from the Baseball Prospectus family join us to preview each of the four first-round playoff series, and then Jason and I make our own picks for winner and players to watch out for. After well over an hour of hardcore baseball talks, the funny begins as actor/comedian/write Ike Barinholtz (you might know him best from Mad TV) joins us for Pop Culture Moment to talk about, well a lot of things, from growing up a Cubs fan to the new hipster trend of retro NBA jerseys. It's damn funny stuff. Then the usual goofiness continues with what are you drinking and an 'almost' story from Jason's wedding that can not be missed. As always, we hope you enjoy. Note: We do alert you to the presence of the occasional adult language. Don't say we didn't warn you. Up And In Episode 20: "Val Kilmer On A Bison"

Kevin - what's wrong with your name? I suppose it can be confusing with so many people thinking you must be a big James Shields fan though...
It must be said, that I made the Shields comment before hearing the interview with Ike Barinholtz. And on that note, Shields is not on the list. But Kevin Youkilis, and recent prospect list guys Ike Davis and Danny Valencia are.
