Great Show
I’ve met Mike a few times at the St.Thomas sports spectacular. He is always open to share thoughts and opinions and answer questions. He does a great job at the event and is always well prepared. Although I have argued with him on twitter. It’s still a great show, you are always well prepared and have great interview skills. Good listen.
Love the show!
Mike, love the show and the baseball community you’re looking to build over on Bluesky. I appreciate all that you do for your loyal fans. I catch all episodes of your show in my screened porch with my neighbour pals John and Avery. We’ve done this since the Jays Talk days! Keep up the great work, from three big Mike Wilner fans out here in St Thomas, Ontario.
Love the positive energy
I love this podcast. So many great interviews and conversations - all within the context of a love of the game. I really miss you on radio.
Idea - after listening to today’s show, seeing how some guys made the team due to other’s injuries, I’d love to hear their stories and how the opportunity can change their lives.
Keep up the great job!
