The new year is here and your favorite podcast is back (and so is this one). We've got a new name. The Desipio Podcast is now Pointless Exercise, because that just sounds more official. Andy is here for an abbreviate pod to start things off and he talks about the plans for a regular Cubs edition of this podcast and more 1-on-1 interview podcasts for you to enjoy. He talks about the Cubs' nonsensical attempts to trade Kris Bryant, about the Ricketts' dodging the fans at the Cubs Convention, the predictably ham-fisted launch of the Marquee Sports Network and even a little about the report that the Bulls' are finally, really, maybe going to blow it up this time. Sure. Then he finishes up with some stuff you should be watching.
