In honor of All-Star week, NPR carried a few baseball-related items on WNYC this week.

July 13 was a good day for Jewish sports authors. Both Howard Megdal (The Baseball Talmud) and Lee Lowenfish (Branch Rickey: Baseball’s Ferocious Gentleman) were interviewed on The Leonard Lopate Show.

You can listen to the Megdal segment here:

Additionaly, on the 30th anniversary of Disco Demolition Night, Soundcheck ran this piece as part of a larger focus on the genre. As a bonus, you can read guest Steven Greenberg’s essay on disco.
