Old School Baseball Radio

[Cod]

For those of you who remember the days when listening to baseball on the radio was one of the only ways to take in a game, the Northwoods Baseball Radio Network (https://www.sleepbaseball.com/) is for you (not to be confused with the Northwoods League). Northwoods Baseball Sleep Radio is a full-length fake baseball game with no volume spikes, no loud commercials, no yelling, and more. The tout themselves as "baseball radio ASMR" for those that know what that is. I highly recommend y'all give it a listen one day because the games are fantastic and the commentary is top notch. On occasion, I'll even find myself rooting for a hitter or pitcher to do something even though I know the entire thing is fictional. There shop can give you some insight to the teams and stadiums: https://www.teepublic.com/user/north...ll-sleep-radio

The New Yorker did a well-written piece about the website/podcast: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/ra...-baseball-game.

If you enjoy a blend of nostalgia, relaxation, and creativity, giving this a listen would be well worth your time!

This is really well done. My only issue was that I would listen in the winter when I have a huge baseball itch that needs a scratch and I actually paid attention to the game. Well game 1 the action actually fades out in the 8th or 9th and you can’t make out who wins the game. Infuriating. I loved it otherwise.

They interviewed the creator on the Effectively Wild Podcast a while back and I subscribed.

A great listen, helps me enormously in getting my 7-8 hours kip every night.

You're not supposed to know who wins because you're supposed to be asleep at that point!

I KNOW, but I’m listening on the way to and from work. Took me a week to get to the end of one game and I was like….WHO WINS!?
