Personal Life

Jacoby Podcast is a tape recorder, or, to be more specific, an amalgamation of the shadows from the inside of the tape recorder they inhabit. They stand at a whole three inches tall, give or take a few centimeters, with a small Crab symbol in white on their chest. Outside of games they mostly get around by being carried by a teammate or a group of similarly small crabs; although they can get around on their own, it has been described as an “unpleasant auditory experience long-distance” and “something to avoid at literally any cost.”

When in solar eclipses or under the black hole, Podcast’s form has been noted to, on rare occasions, “grow to eclipse view of the Crabs’ defense and, in general, everything on the field” as they pitch, although no videos or Crabs will verify this.

Although Podcast has not said much in interviews about their time in the Shadows, usually sticking to short, quick answers, they have released a small series of tapes to the public dated to their time spent there. Most tapes had semi-corrupted audio, or caused adverse physical effects to listen to, and the rest were reported to “melt like wax” upon improper handling. When asked about this, Podcast declined to comment.

Podcast does not have an apartment, as it would serve as an inconvenience to them; instead, they have taken up permanent residence inside of the Crabitat alongside Squid Galvanic, inside one of the several rooms meant for standing defense.

Tapes

In opposition to tapes recorded before their emergence into active play, Podcast’s tapes recording their experiences in Blaseball or their constant clawmentary during games they’re pitching cause no physical or mental harm to listen to, and are kept in storage for public re-listening at a local library.

Several Baltimore residents who attended games in the Crabitat have shown up to local news stations with tapes in hand, found in their pockets or in bags after they left a game Podcast was pitching. When played, these tapes had a full copy of the clawmentary from that game, as well as a signoff from whatever Baltimore Crabs player was the fan’s favorite. Podcast has declined to comment on this as well, other then saying it’s “a deliberate choice” and that they “hope people enjoy!”

Despite their last name, Jacoby Podcast does not, in fact, record podcasts, although they have expressed interest in the concept of them.
