In what I wouldn't quite call one of our "Cutting Room Floor" episodes, Nick and I explore the topic of potential Frontier League expansion locations while recording Episode 230 of Indy Ball Report last week. Finding ourselves with a full single-topic mini-episode from that conversation, we opted to release it here on Indy Ball Nation as a podcast exclusive rather than risk it getting lost in an extra-long Indy Ball Report episode.
I hope you enjoy!

We're eating scraps, y'all! As I detail in the show open, many episodes I record with Indy Ball Report have plenty of excess content. Much of this needs to be burned to prevent my immediate arrest. As for everything else, Nick has been kind (or cruel) enough to package it up and send it my way. Perhaps you'll find something you'll enjoy in all the leftovers! If nothing else, maybe you'll appreciate the other content that we have not edited out even more.

We are back in business starting the week with a Tuesday show! Ryan discusses Monday morning's Frederick press conference, transactions from the American and Frontier Leagues, as well as some updates from the Pecos and United Shores Leagues!
We're discussing news from around the indy leagues and what we, as a community (Can I call us a community? Eh, I feel like we're a community.) would do if given control of indy ball.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Indy Ball Nation! Today, we’re going big picture. I mean, REAL big picture. We’re not just talking over the broad strokes of the indy ball offseason up to this point, we’re also discussing what exactly indy ball actually is for any newcomers to this party. Finally, we’re looking ahead at what’s around the corner for Indy Ball Nation and talking about the team seemingly everyone is talking about - the Savannah Bananas.
