Welcome to the Phillies Weekly Podcast

About Me

Phillies Weekly is a weekly podcast devoted to everything Philadelphia Phillies. Every week, we'll recap the weekly highlights, player and franchise news for the Philadelphia Phillies. We will also include news on minor league affiliates, front office, and much more. If you are new to podcasting, check out some of the links below to get started. Be sure to visit our homepage at http://philliesweekly.blogspot.comAbout the Host: Chris Smith is a Phillie nut, or a Phanatic as they call it. Chris has been a lifelong Phillies Phan following the team through the worst and best seasons since sometime in the mid 80's. Nothing really qualifies Chris to host this site or podcast, just a strong belief that the Philadelphia Phillies will return as world champions in 2005.
