Wednesday With Walton and Reis – January 22, 2025

The Cardinal Nation’s Brian Walton is joined by analyst Kyle Reis for a weekly discussion of St. Louis Cardinals news, with a focus on player development and the minor leagues.

Our podcasts are quick hitting and timely, covering a short list of current topics in 20-25 minutes. More information on everything we discuss can be found in articles here at The Cardinal Nation.

Due to popular demand, last week’s guest, Kyle Reis, is the new co-host, and he will join Brian each Wednesday. In an extended podcast, the two share their top impressions from the three-day St. Louis Cardinals Winter Warm-Up. Subjects include John Mozeliak, the DeWitts, Oliver Marmol, Ryan Helsley, Nolan Arenado (of course), Sonny Gray, Jordan Walker, Brendan Donovan and many, many others.

Check out Kyle’s work at Birds on the Black and his very popular Prospects After Dark interactive podcasts. He is also one of the most informative and entertaining Cardinals related social media follows at @kyler416.

All video of episodes of the return of Wednesday With Walton at The Cardinal Nation can be found here.

The audio is also simulcast each week via the Scoops Sports Network and your favorite podcast apps.
