The only MLB podcast you’ll need

My go to podcast about baseball, not just MLB, but baseball in general with great interviews and content from those involved in all aspects of the game. Who would have thought that a couple of British dudes would offer one of the best baseball podcasts around?

Great Guests, fantastic entertainment, loads of fun, its an absolute must listen.

G from E ,

Fantastic interviews

Wide array of shows ranging from news to banter to interviews. It’s great hearing a baseball show with different perspectives rather than just US-media led narratives

Game 162 ,

Striking Chat

Great British take on what is a fast growing sport, keep up the good work guys.
