National League Town (a Mets podcast)

We're back from hiatus to discuss the big trade. Then (at 8:00), from September 2025, we talk with Liz Callaway, Mets fan, Broadway star, and recording star, about what it’s like to sing the National Anthem at Citi Field, and more.

From August 2025, we talk with Mets fan Mike Turner from Survivor 42, who tells us what it's like to be on a reality show and lose all contact with the Mets. We also discuss which Met would do well on Survivor and which Met would be voted out first.

From March 2025, we talk to Matthew Silverman, co-author of Art Shamsky's New Book, "Mets Stories I Only Tell My Friends".

We have current events, ten predictions for the Mets' off-season, and Jeff has a Brilliant Idea (with some choice words for Jane Leavy) (15:30). Join us! #Mets #LGM

Should he have stayed or should he have been told to go? Jeff discusses the decision to retain Carlos Mendoza with Greg Prince, who sorts through the clashing rationales regarding the manager of the Mets continuing to steer a ship that essentially sank in the second half. The fellas also try to figure out why the Mets never win as many games in the seasons after they’ve gone to the playoffs; whether a case can be made for bidding the Polar Bear adieu; and what their personal best moments at Citi Field were in 2025. There are no Phillies left in the postseason, and there are no Yankees, but there is National League Town.

There are numerous reasons why the Mets didn't make the playoffs. Kevin Chapman joins the show to discuss what happened. Join us! #Mets #LGM

Jeff reunites with Greg for this special occasion, so special that our original co-hosts decided to focus on five good things apiece about the Mets.
