Produced by FOX Sports Radio, Inside the (Rob) Parker is a weekly podcast airing throughout baseball season and will feature the multimedia sports personality and journalist as he shares his red-hot opinions on the biggest stories in Major League Baseball, as well as interviews with the most notable names in the game.  

New episodes of Inside the (Rob) Parker will be available every Wednesday throughout baseball season, and the podcast debuts tomorrow with an interview with eight-time All-Star & four-time World Series Champion Darryl Strawberry.

“Baseball is my first love, my true sports passion,” said Parker, who is a Baseball Hall of Fame voter.  “If you think I have hot takes on the NFL and the NBA, wait until you hear them about the national pastime.  For sure, it will be fun and informative.”

Parker will continue co-hosting FOX Sports Radio’s The Odd Couple with Chris Broussard, which broadcasts weekdays on nearly 340 stations nationwide from 7-10 p.m. ET. The longtime sports writer is also a regular analyst for several FS1 programs, including The Herd with Colin Cowherd and Skip and Shannon: Undisputed, and writes a column for TheShadowLeague.com.
