What Is the Road to Cooperstown Podcast from the National Baseball Hall of Fame?

The Road to Cooperstown is the official podcast of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, hosted by Jon Paul Morosi. It features Hall of Famers sharing their stories, triumphs, and challenges, with new episodes released every Tuesday. You can find and listen to episodes through baseballhall.org. If you want firsthand accounts from inducted players rather than news or exhibit information, this is the show to follow.

What the podcast covers

According to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, the podcast "showcases the game's all-time greats as they share their stories, triumphs and challenges." The emphasis is on the personal path to induction — the obstacles and the moments that shaped a career — rather than game recaps or breaking news.

A featured example on the site is Carlos Beltrán, a member of the Class of 2026, who joins host Jon Paul Morosi to discuss "the obstacles he encountered and overcame on his way to baseball immortality." That episode illustrates the format: a Hall of Famer in conversation with Morosi about the road that led to Cooperstown.

Who hosts it and who appears

• Host: Jon Paul Morosi.
• Guests: Hall of Famers, including newly inducted members such as Carlos Beltrán of the Class of 2026.

Because guests are inductees, the roster of episodes tracks the Hall's own community of players, managers, umpires, executives, and pioneers rather than outside commentators.

Release schedule

New episodes are released every Tuesday. If you plan to listen regularly, Tuesday is the day to check for the latest installment.

How to listen

The Hall's website is the entry point for the podcast. From baseballhall.org, you can reach the podcast section and listen to episodes there. The site presents the show alongside its other stories and programming, so you can move between podcast episodes and related Hall content in one place.

Where it fits among the Hall's offerings

The podcast is one part of a broader set of ways the Museum shares baseball history. Other examples from the site include:

• Exhibits and collections — more than 140,000 baseball cards, 40,000 unique objects, and 250,000 images.
• Special programming — for instance, events in Cooperstown marking the 75th anniversary of Bobby Thomson's pennant-winning home run on Oct. 2–3.
• Publications — such as Baseball's Greatest Pitchers: Icons of Excellence from the Baseball Hall of Fame, arriving Oct. 13.
• Membership — a way to support the preservation of the game's history while receiving member benefits.

If your interest is the voices of the inductees themselves, the podcast is the most direct option among these. If you want artifacts, images, or in-person events, the Museum's exhibits and programming serve that need instead.
