The end is near
Good podcast, I use the “SIGN BRYCE HARPER” part of the intro to level the volume in my headphones.
Great Coverage
You get to hear about all the teams in the league, MLB policies, trades, etc. it’s great during the season and off season.
Thanks for having such great topics every week, Jonah and Mike!
Great pod
Been listening since it came out, the banter between Jonah and Michael is quite good and I like that they still cover MLB while remaining somewhat Blue Jays focused. My one small quibble would be that Bradburn often makes a point, Jonah challenges and Bradburn concedes immediately. Your points/ takes are great, stand up for yourself man!
All in all a wonderful listen that I never miss each week. Thank you both.
