Welcome in to another edition of What Barrie’s Talking About from Barrie 360.

Listen to this weeks episode here:
A New Era for Baycats Baseball
Spring might still be a little ways off, but baseball is already on the mind in Barrie. The Intercounty Baseball League is officially no more, having rebranded as the Canadian Baseball League at the end of last season.
So what does that mean for the Barrie Baycats? According to Baycats President, GM, and Manager Josh Matlow, it’s nothing but good news. He joins Barrie 360’s Julius Hern to talk about what the league changes bring, how the Baycats fit into the new vision, and what fans can expect when the season gets underway.
If you’re counting down to baseball weather, this conversation is a good reminder that it’s closer than it feels.
Locallicious Is Back to Warm Things Up
If baseball talk isn’t enough to shake the winter blues, this might do it. Locallicious is back starting this weekend.
Locallicious gives diners the chance to sample some of the area’s best restaurants with set-price menus, making it one of the most anticipated food events of the year.
