Baseball and BBQ Episode #151: Bron Heussenstamm, Founder and CEO of the Bleav Network Welcomes Us To Bleav

09/17/22 • 76 min

Bron Heussenstamm is on an amazing journey that has brought him to his current role as founder and CEO of the Bleav Network. With an IMDb page mentioning the various bit parts he has had in a few movies as well as his contributions to shows while he was a professional surfer, he modestly tells us it is typical for anyone in Hollywood to have an IMDb page. Bron's family business is clothing, which helps account for his business acumen as he builds an entertainment empire. We felt it was appropriate that the man in charge welcome us to our new home, the Bleav Network. With a growing network that numbers over 500 shows, Bron was glad to find time in a busy schedule to tell us our show includes two of his favorite subjects, baseball, and barbecue; he may have even said we are his favorite show, but we will let you listen and decide if we heard correctly.

We recommend you go to BBQ Buddha, https://bbqbuddha.com/ for rubs and award-winning sauces, Baseball BBQ, https://baseballbbq.com for special grilling tools and accessories, the Pandemic Baseball Book Club, https://www.pbbclub.com to find many of the wonderful books we have featured as well as some additional swag, Magnechef, https://magnechef.com/ for excellent and unique barbecue gloves, and Cutting Edge Firewood https://www.cuttingedgefirewood.com/ for high-quality firewood and cooking wood.

We conclude the show with the song, "Baseball Always Brings You Home" by the musician, Dave Dresser, and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.

We truly appreciate our listeners and hope that all of you are staying safe.

Baseball and BBQ Episode #150 Features Colin Cosell, New York Mets Public Address Announcer, and Yaffi L'Vova, Author and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

Colin Cosell has a famous last name, but the career he has forged is not due to a name, but rather it is a result of hard work, perseverance, and in his case, proving that nice guys do in fact finish first. He joined us one fine afternoon when Leonard was unable to make it, but Gary Mack, the host of the Mets Musings podcast as well as cohost of the Baseball Talk Radio Show podcast, filled in quite admirably. Colin shares a few stories involving his grandfather, Howard Cosell. He discusses being one half of the public address announcing team at Citifield and how he got the job. Anyone who is interested in this type of career would be wise to listen to Colin as he talks about the three C's (be clear, be concise, be correct) which come directly from the late great New York Yankees PA announcer, Bob Shepard. Colin is also the PA announcer for the NY Riptide of the National Lacrosse League, and in that role, he gets to talk the entire game and playfully antagonize the opposing team. His departing words are to be a good person and be kind to others. More information on Colin Cosell can be found here, https://colincosell.com/home-plate.

Yaffi L'Vova is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who just happens to be Jeff's niece. Yaffi has an incredible knowledge of food and how live-fire cooking is found in many cultures. She has created Toddler Test Kitchen as a way to introduce children to unfamiliar foods in a safe way-a way that builds confidence and self-reliance while spending quality time with parents. She has written many cookbooks, two of which are Fun with Food Toddler Cookbook: Activities and Recipes to Play and Eat, Kid Chef Junior Every Day: My First Easy Kids' Cookbook. Yaffi did not have much of a briefing on what we were going to discuss, and yet she responded to every question with knowledgeable and interesting answers. It is good to hear from a new voice who may not be a chef or a pitmaster but has a positive way of looking at food.
