Every fall for eight years, contributing writer Seth Stevenson has been pitching a story where he goes to umpire school and reports back, and every fall Slate’s editor in chief has been rejecting the proposal as too expensive. Now Slate Plus has agreed to foot the bill—as long as we can attract 1,000 new members by Jan. 1. 

In this podcast extra, Seth joins Hang Up and Listen to discuss the campaign. To find out more—or to sign up for Slate Plus and help Seth live his dream—visit Slate.com/umpire.
