Talkin’ Tork is a Detroit Tigers podcast hosted by a fan who absolutely will overreact to a Tuesday night loss in April — but will also break down why the bullpen’s xFIP says you should calm down.
We roast. We rant. We spiral. But we also know ball.
See you at the parade down Woodward.
Tigers are RED HOT coming off a sweep of the Rays, and look to continue in an ALDS Rematch this weekend against the Mariners!
Got a little bit into the Trade talk and what we should do with Tarik Skubal at the trade deadline, a little talk about how much I love cookies, and much more!

Episode #10: Castellani Typa Rant
There will be fun episode details for this episode, as there is nothing to smile about as a Tigers fan right now.
It is becoming increasingly hard to watch this baseball team day in and day out, and there seems to be zero positives and zero good things coming their way.
Somebody PLEASE help them.

Episode #9: Brant Hurter Fan Club (Ft. Ryan Upton)
Chat, when I say this is the best episode of Talkin' Tork ever, I mean it.
It was a PLEASURE to have THE Ryan Upton on the show this week to talk this past road trip and the bullpen struggles (specifically in the 9th inning), the man, myth, LEGEND, Brant Hurter, and tons more!
I promise you are not going to want to miss this one!

Episode #8: Tork Bomb(s)
What better way to kick off a new episode of Talkin' Tork than a series dub against the Brew Crew!
Mr. Spenny T silenced the doubters with his first Home Run of the year yesterday followed by an encore with his first career Walk-Off Home Run to win the series against the Brewers!
And More!

Episode #7: KMac, You're My Hero
Scott Harris, you GENIUS! The Tigers have made a huge decision to sign Kevin McGonigle to a 8 year contract extension to keep our best hitter a Tiger for years!
Not only that, but the Cats have also gotten RED hot and fired off 6 straight wins after an awful series in Minnesota, and have swept the Royals and Marlins!
Listen now to hear it all!

Episode #6: Analytical Nightmare
After a trip to Minnesota this week, the panic button is beginning to be hovered over.
In this episode, we talk about what went wrong against the Twins this week and what needs to be done to ensure the Tigers don't start this season how they ended 2025.
From the Pinch-Hitting nightmares, to Parker Meadows' injury, to Gleyber Torres' unbelievable command of the batters box, we check off every box.

Episode #5: Frank The Sedan
We have officially started the 2026 MLB season, and with that, we officially have started losing our minds about a fractions worth of games compared to a 162 game season, and frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way.
In this episode, we give props to a few guys who have gone above and beyond to start the season, and we go full on Frank The Tank mode and lose our minds over a few bad games to start the season.
But, Baseball is back, so that's a positive.

Episode #4: Kevin McGonigle Fan Club (Ft. Toaster Vendzuh)
Happy Opening Week!
We've officially made it to the Kevin McGonigle Era.
As the excitement to watch McGonigle in a Tigers uniform sets in, it not only dawns a new era, but brings great excitement to a season that is on the horizon that was already exciting for numerous reasons.
Always fun to have Toast Malone on the show to talk Tigers Ball, Play a little Immaculate Grid, and be silly geese.
Happy Opening Week everybody and Go Tigers!
