After 121 episodes with Steve, JP and Ryan as the primary hosts of Milwaukee's Tailgate, the time has come for some changes. Both Steve and JP have decided to step away from the weekly grind and will no longer be regular members of the podcast. This week's episode is a goodbye to that era, but also features discussions about the slow holiday weeks, how the third base and bullpen situations might still change, and of course, a few arguments and laughs. 

After some initial hesitation to continue on without them, Ryan decided to reach out to a few people to team up to carry on. That team came together so quickly and seamlessly that going forward became a no-brainer of a decision. So, while this will be the last episode with the original cast, this will not be the final episode of Milwaukee's Tailgate. 

The new group joining Ryan are all familiar Brewers online presences as well as veterans of MKE Tailgate. Jaymes L. has been writing on the Brewers at various websites for over a decade and will take over in Steve's role as host. Paul Noonan, the host of our sister Packers pod, Reporting as Eligible, will take on a full time role after being Tailgate 1.0's most frequent guest. Finally, Brad Ford will be taking over for JP on the Minor League Extra and, from time to time, on the regular podcast as well.

So join our new group next week on Milwaukee's Tailgate podcast.
