I have the absolute pleasure to work with Stuart on the [Audience](https://audiencepodcast.fm/?ref=thepodcastsetup.com) podcast.

He's taught me a lot about creating a solid production process for our team, and has made me appreciate great audio on a whole new level. I'm excited to share one of his personal projects with you today, and for you to discover a bit more about him as a podcaster.

Enjoy ObscureBall!

For handcrafted storytelling about sporting events, history and figures.

### What makes your approach to podcasting different from others?

I focus less on making a podcast and more on creating a unique audio experience. I just so happen to release the audio via RSS.
