Uncharted territory on the podcast today: I will be talking about baseball. Yes, it’s true.

I will be taking you through the cheating scandal surrounding Major League Baseball team, the Houston Astros. How the scandal unfolded, the conduct and results of a subsequent investigation by Major League Baseball Commissioner, Rob Manfred, and the lessons we can learn from this crisis that is unfolding in real time.

The Risktory Podcast is created, written, produced and hosted by Jacinthe A Galpin. Jacinthe doesn’t know a whole lot about baseball but the internet is a great source for the basics.
