Starting today, we are thrilled to announce that the Redbird Rundown Podcast and its full network of shows are officially joining the Viva El Birdos family! Scott, Matt, and Jonathan will be bringing their talents to SB Nation and VEB, bringing a plethora of even more St. Louis Cardinals content to you all!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Brothers Matt and Jonathan have spent the last year building Redbird Rundown into a must-listen for Cardinals fans, blending deep-dive analysis and Taco Bell spice packet takes with the kind of nerdy niche references we love here at VEB. In January, the crew grew even stronger when they brought our very own Scott (MrPlaztastic) into the fold full-time. With Scott came his signature show, Cardinals on My Time, and the fan-favorite Random Cardinal of the Week, hosted by his brother, Jim. Together, the guys hope to become the premier destination for every type of St. Louis fan, from the casual observer to the die-hard stat-head, and VEB is ready to support that mission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Not much is going to change for you! Redbird Rundown will continue to post to its own pages on <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/redbird-rundown-a-st-louis-cardinals-podcast\/id1777717651\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/34tHOLzA6aewTN63CRZsaK?si=fcf4690acfdd4fb3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@RedbirdRundownPodcast\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>. However, VEB will now serve as the home for every episode. Whenever a new show drops, you\u2019ll find a dedicated post right here on the VEB main page featuring a summary of the episode and direct links to listen. Jake took the time in <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/439y7MObKhc?si=SPlhv6QvoAgCrKHD\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">last night\u2019s reader mailbag episode<\/a> to break the news, and hopefully excite our committed readers and fans from the site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">A Note from Scott:<br \/>\u201cI\u2019ve admired the writing and community of VEB for years. While most outlets just chase headlines, VEB\u2019s writers actually dive into the \u2018why\u2019 behind the game. Since joining the site, I\u2019ve been blown away by the engagement, and seeing what Jake has done with the VEB podcast has been awesome. Matt, Jonathan, and I are beyond excited to grow our content with the support of Doc, Jake, and Gabe. We\u2019re just getting started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Nothing changes with Jake\u2019s VEB podcasting schedule, but here is what to expect from Redbird Rundown:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Make sure to like, follow, and subscribe on your preferred platforms.
