Chad Dotson and Chris Garber got together to talk about the 1990 Wire to Wire Reds. Chad and Chris were both teenagers at the time, and this (unfortunately) was the apex of their fandom. What follows is a fun recounting of their memories of that season along with a timeline of all the relevant events. What a great year.

Chad Dotson discusses the ins, the outs, the what-have-yous of the negotiations between MLB owners and the players union, as we take some baby steps down the road of having actual Cincinnati Reds baseball in 2020.

We also bring you a couple of fun interviews with current Reds while they were still babies. When they were still minor leaguers, Tucker Barnhart and Jesse Winker joined RNR (and Bill Lack) to talk about their hopes and dreams. It's an interesting flashback, given what we know now about these players' careers, and we think you'll enjoy it.

There's a tiny bit of baseball-related news, but somehow Chad Dotson and Doug Gray still found plenty of things to discuss in the latest episode of the World's Most Dangerous Podcast (TM). We unpacked the latest proposal to get some baseball going in 2020, take a look at the first four games of the Post-BRM All-Stars series from episode #319 (spoiler: Dotson is killing Jason Linden's team), and answered a slew of Viewer Mail questions.

Most importantly, Dotson gives you a 100% guarantee about baseball being played this year.

We have a champion! In the follow-up to last week's nonsense, Chad Dotson and Chris Garber revealed the bracket for this year's Redleg Madness. Remember, 64 of the least memorable and most obscure Reds of the last four decades are competing to be declared RNR's favorite. There were some big-time upsets, and a Cinderella story champion.

Opening Day is here! Well, it was supposed to be baseball's Opening Day, but unfortunately, world events have caused the season to be delayed. That doesn't stop Chad Dotson and Chris Garber from discussing the current state of the Reds, and what the season might look like when it's played.

More importantly, however, we deliver the first round of this year's Redleg Madness. This year, 64 of the least memorable and most obscure Reds of the last four decades compete to be declared RNR's favorite. There were some big-time upsets, so stay tuned!
