At The Letters

I have been a loyal listen since the bleak 2018 season! This the absolute best Blue Jays available for years and no other podcast comes close!

I used to really like this show, and I’ve listened from day 1. But over time they’ve become less like journalists and more like propagandists, especially Arden. He’s way too close. This is the spin zone, and Arden simps for the organization constantly. Notice how he always talks about org people, their impressive process, their development depts and their sport science, and how careful and considerate they are in their decision-making. I’ve never heard a sports talk pod that’s praising guys seven levels deep in the bureaucracy. Dude, your job isn’t to represent the organization and lecture fans about all the impressive the so-called experts are doing, it’s to be honest and critical and independent.

Production value and energy definitely need an uptick. Sometimes this show can be extremely boring to listen to.

It would be preferable to time the podcast to either get it out in time so it’s current or after a series instead of in the midst of one. It’s jarring to listen to comments that are out of date, sometimes significantly so.
