FanGraphs Audio: Dayn Perry Questions Everything
Episode 420
Dayn Perry is a contributor to CBS Sports’ Eye on Baseball and the author of three books — one of them serviceable and one of them, against all odds, something more than serviceable. He’s also the disconsolate guest on this edition of FanGraphs Audio.

You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.

10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
There appears to be an incongruity between the length stated (1 hr 20 min) and the length of the podcast (21 min).
There absolutely does. Attempting to resolve now.
Fixed, I think?
The embedded player appears to give ca. 80 minutes of audio. There is no update on iTunes, as yet.
My head says thank you, but my soul wishes I had not asked for 4x more Dayn Perry.
Not fixed yet. Ends at 21:09 through Fangraphs.com and if you download it.
Looks like it is working now.
Good. Now it’s just miserable in only one way.
Fitting, then, that it’s Dayn Perry on Episode 420 of this show – ha, if you know what I mean, ha. Episode 420. Know what I mean?
You do. You know – precisely – what I mean. .420 was Banknotes Harper’s Clutch factor. It would have been higher, but he arbitraged all manual transmissions into the thirsting void.
Carson, Being an old audio guy… what tech do you use to produce your shows especially when you are in the road? Thx.
Really dug the arbitrage show btw. I listen to them all.
Keep it up young man!
Sir, yes. For a while now, maybe two years, I’ve used a Blue Yeti mic and recorded over Skype with a program called CallBurner. Then I edit with Audacity.
My knowledge of sound editing/quality ends there, more or less. It’s basically enough to make it sound not entirely miserable!
Right on. Reds equipment van leaves Thursday for Arizona!!!!! Go Reds!!!! Go Man U!!!
I wanted to write a quick ‘thank-you’ for fielding my question and allowing the answer to said question to degenerate into a rather odd talk about Hitler’s grandmother and temporal displacement. I have to write, these podcasts are boss, totally boss. Excelsior!
Why are you not discussing baseball? Dayn is a baseball writer after all.
I did stop listening after the initial warning.
I just would like to get some explanation why this podcast appear on fangraphs.
And why not under the NotGraphs section, if you necessarily must post it.
I just don’t get it.
Is it that big of a deal? I read FanGraphs every day, listen to all the Cameron podcasts and this remains my favorite thing on the site.
This podcast is a giggle maker. Let’s just enjoy it.
It also is my favorite thing on the site.
Yeah, Yeah… HELLO!?
BOO! You didn’t answer my question! WTF?!
Be funny next time.
The King of Romance thanks you for fielding his question and would like to clarify that the natural selection arena is the Thunderdome. I thought this was assumed.
