About Bumpy Roads and Beautiful Places: A (mostly) Baseball Podcast
Bumpy Roads and Beautiful Places, a mostly baseball podcast, will be a limited run podcast where The Ladies Who Like Baseball and UVAHooGirl (aka Erika) discuss mostly baseball, but also the completely random things we find ourselves talking about on any given night. We will get into the 2026 Washington Nationals and the future of baseball in 2027, as well as the upcoming post season games.
World Series Preview + World Series Fun Facts + Group Project Horror Stories + Holiday Movies
Join The Ladies Who Like Baseball and Erika to talk about the Fall Classic. We recap the NLCS and the ALCS (did the haunted hotel factor in?!) and then get into all the weird but wonderfully awesome fun facts surrounding this World Series. (Including the Will Smith Factor).
And in non-baseball discussions, we get into current reads and holiday movies. Also, there is a slight tangent about group projects that everyone can relate to.

Episode One - Nationals v. Mets + what we're currently reading
Welcome everyone! In this first episode, we introduce ourselves and the podcast, giving a brief overview of the plans for this thing. Then we get right into discussing the last series for the 2026 Nationals season. As far as the non-baseball content in this episode: stick around for discussions on books, murderous bugs, and how sometimes friends shouldn't panic because of someone else's vacation.
