Nick Dika of Canadian rock band Arkells joined us this week for a special edition episode where we spent three consecutive hours talking about Joey Votto. Kidding. We wish, though. Nick's constant traveling, coupled with his work with Baseball Prospectus gives him a unique perspective on the world of baseball and sports. We discussed a myriad of topics, ranging from baseball culture in Canada, to Jose Bautista's facial hair, and Bartolo Colon's secret weapon. Additionally, we talked a little shop musically. Arkells are out touring on their new record Morning Report and new single "Knocking At The Door." We touched on changes in the music business landscape, and how in modern times you use an album to promote a tour and not vice versa. Make sure to catch Arkells on tour this spring and summer. If you're at Coachella, Shaky Knees, or Bunbury, you will see your favorite podcast hosts in the crowd.
