Batting the Breeze is a podcast for the infinitely curious. It's a place where we share stories, invite others to share stories and sometimes... just talk. Episodes are usually less than 25 minutes and could relate to absolutely anything; Quite often, they'll be subjects you've never thought about thinking about. We're always looking to be informative, amusing or thought-provoking and occasionally all three! Head over to www.battingthebreeze.com for more information.
