Customer Reviews
Negative
The last few podcasts I’ve listened to have been difficult to listen to. Honestly I turned them off because they were so negative. It was depressing me.
A brilliant Phillies podcast
John, Liz and Justin do a fantastic all round job in terms of analysis, insight and, above all, entertainment. It has been great in terms of giving me a baseball fix during the off-season and has made me immensely excited for it to all begin again (to the extent that I’m considering coming over from England to watch the Phillies for the first time in about 6 years). Keep up the great work. Matt Jedruch
An essential part of my week
Meant to put this up ages ago. I’m a long standing Irish Phillies fan who currently lives in the U.K. but my own life got busy and tricky about the time the Phils went in the toilet and I lost touch. This year was my second year trying to reconnect and I can truthfully say that without all three podcasts, I would not have really felt and enjoyed the highs and lows of the season as much. Back in the day I read a lot of blogs, but in a lot of ways I prefer the podcast format in general and these in particular because of the talk. Liz, John and Justin bring a broad knowledge and great passion to some great chat. It feels like I’m sitting in Philly listening to three sound folk celebrating and cursing the Phils. It’s an essential part of how I enjoy the Phillies now, and I couldn’t recommend it enough.
