Borrowing the podcast title from their forthcoming book, three-time Manager of the Year Joe Maddon and three-time Sportswriter of the Year Tom Verducci provide exclusive insight, commentary and discussion on the MLB postseason, from the stars to the strategy.
As manager of the 2016 Cubs team that broke a 108-year championship drought, Maddon knows what it takes to navigate October pressure. Part Phil Jackson, part Yogi Berra, Maddon brings unique and entertaining takes on not just on dugout strategy but also life lessons and leadership - not to mention classic cars and rock and roll.
A five-time Emmy winner with Fox and MLB Network, Verducci has behind-the-scenes access to the players and managers throughout the postseason.
“The Book of Joe” is your home to learn - and laugh - about the real stories behind how postseason games are won and lost.

Customer Reviews
Best podcast out there! But….
Joe and Tom-lay off the the fawning all over the Dodgers, please! It’s gotten embarrassing. Ohtani’s contract structure is terrible for the health of the game and proves he doesn’t have the killer instinct to be a winner a la MJ, Kobe, Jeter etc.
THE REAL DEAL !!!!!
Two of the BEST in the business. Right from the dugout to the press box. Doesn’t get any better than this . Jimmy Driscoll
Best athlete
Jim Thorpe was the greatest! Jim Brown and Bo Jackson and Leroy Keyes they were better athletes than Shohei Ohtani.Shohei is over rate and going to be over paid.Joe you overrated Shohei way too much:
