About the Hosts

Craig Borden

If the podcast is a digital pub, Craig is the one pouring the drinks. Based in Rochester, NY, Craig founded Jay Bird Watching to bridge the distance between his home and the Rogers Centre, creating a community for fans who live and breathe Blue Jays baseball.

A "Jock, Nerd, and Rockstar" all rolled into one, Craig balances a career in electrical engineering with a drive to succeed with his company, Random Fandom Productions. Whether he's breaking down stats on JBW, Jays Latest TV, or geeking out on T&C Random Fandom, Craig brings an infectious energy that turns casual listeners into loyal regulars.

Liz McGuire

Liz McGuire isn't just a host; she is the ultimate proxy for every fan in the Roger Centre 500 level. Famous for her toughness (and becoming a Topps Now Collectible), Liz brings an unshakeable loyalty and a sharp wit to the podcast.
Liz represents the resilience and passion of Blue Jays fans everywhere. She brings that same "stay until the last out" energy to every episode, delivering sharp commentary, fan advocacy, and a perspective that can only come from someone who lives and breathes this team (literally).

Jason Lyons

Started on the airwaves at KYX 98, The Team 1040, and JR FM long before calling plays in real life as a two‑sport provincial championship coach, building a life where family sits at the heart of every win.
From rinkside cheers to ballpark summers. A deep love of baseball, golf, hockey, the Blue Jays, and the 49ers fuels the stories, laughs, and hot takes shared on the Jay Bird Watching podcast. Jason brings years of broadcasting instincts blended seamlessly with business leadership and dad‑level devotion. Having already lived a few different dreams, he’s still writing the next chapter with equal parts family highlight reel, sports saga, radio guy turned community builder.
