Good of the Roost:

·         My name is Bobby Trosset and I am a YouTuber/content creator based in Baltimore, having recently left local radio (98 Rock/WBAL) to launch my own sports media company.

 

I'm reaching out to share that Sarah Ellison and I are teaming up to co-host the "Ravens Vault" through Blue Wire Podcasts and we officially launched July 25.

 

The show features two kinds of episodes:

o   The "Morning Ravens Vault" which delivers the most important Ravens news, in just 15 minutes.  These are released Monday-Friday.

o   Traditional long-form (30-45 min) conversations featuring interviews, expanded analysis and/or mailbag Q&A kinds of episodes.  These are released 1-2 times per week.

 

According to Chartable, our podcast ranks 15th in the country under Apple's football category as of earlier this week.

If you think you are interested in checking us out, please don't hesitate to follow our links below.  The show can be found on most podcast platforms.

Thanks for your support and here's to an enjoyable upcoming football season in Baltimore!

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go

And put that ball across the line

So, fly with talons spread wide

Go in and strike with Ravens pride

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Ravens dark wings take flight

Dive in and show them your might

For Baltimore and Maryland

You will fly on to victory
