Wikifest 2026: Haldeman's Weirdest Day So Far

About this episode

The episode features a discussion of rare Wikipedia articles between Paul Bowers and guest Michael Baumann.

Discursive, self-indulgent, and inconsiderate of the audience’s time or interests, it’s everyone’s favorite Brutal South tradition: The exchange of rare and unusual Wikipedia articles with my pal the sportswriter Michael Baumann. Find him on Fangraphs where he writes about baseball, on Medium @wheelysports , and on Bluesky @baumann.bsky.social I needed this. Maybe you did too. This is a public episode.
