Extra Innings: Ethan Bryan and How a Single Game of Catch Can Change Your Life

Ethan Bryan is the author of “A Year of Playing Catch” which chronicles his project of playing catch for 365 days straight. He originally appeared in Episode 40 where he shared his entire baseball story. In this episode we discuss some new research which highlights the importance of play, and how the perfect storm of Covid and an increase in screen time have led to a new epidemic of isolation and loneliness, and how a simple game of catch can combat those effects.  We also touch on some exciting things Ethan has planned for the year, including a visit to Friendly Baseball, The Rippey Ruckus, and an important presentation he’ll be giving at the Cooperstown Symposium in May. Find Ethan Online: Website: https://www.ethanbryan.com/ Book: Amazon | Barnes&Noble Twitter: @Ethan_Bryan Facebook: @EthanBryanStoriesTwitter: @BaseballBucketFacebook: @BaseballBucketListInstagram: @Baseball.Bucket.ListWebsite: baseballbucketlist.comThis podcast is part of the Curved Brim Media Network:Twitter: @CurvedBrimWebsite: curvedbrimmedia.com
