This is fabulous. A custom Wilbur Huckle Topps card!
Mets fans! Go down the Wilbur Huckle rabbit hole with @joshuablevin.bsky.social in the first episode of his new podcast Replay Booth. Very fun mix of pop culture history, politics and of course the Mets. A little more from me at Faith and Fear, featuring an honest to goodness Huckle custom card!

This was a fun story, well-told. The best part is that almost every bit has a surprise to make it about 50% more interesting than it already was. Very glad to have Josh Levin in podcast form again, and reminded me to go back and listen to One Year episodes I might have missed.

He has a new project that explores “history, sports, and the surprising threads that connect past and present.”

There's space for the kind of thoughtful, engaging sport stories the old "Only a Game" on NPR used to run, and this could be it.
