Episode 41 -- Johnny Doskow, 2.0

Johnny Doskow returns to the Life Around the Seams podcast to discuss his new book: "GOODNIGHT EM: Baseball and Life Through Haiku."

 

Doskow is the voice of the Sacramento River Cats, the Triple-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. Dosky explained how he always enjoyed writing haiku poems, then used the pandemic to get serious about writing hundreds that could be turned into this book.

 

I picked out some of my favorites, read them aloud, and then we flapped about some of the details behind each haiku. Just like the book's title, we discuss baseball and life, with a focus on some of Johnny Dee's favorite players and coaches and restaurants from his time working in baseball.
