This Week In Baseball History

Just kidding, Mike I generally like Bill and Mike and I imagine doing a pod like this is a labor of love. Couple of thoughts though: Sound quality is so shoddy. Spend some money and get the right Mic and mixing software They are both nice smart guys but lack a certain flair for story telling. It’s hard to say exactly WHAT it is but like a bass guitar, you notice when it’s not there. For example, the Orel Hershieser Pod was just reading and droning on about each game. But what did opponents think of his record? What did Drysdale really think? I was alive then and there were rumors of Hershiser scuffing the ball. There are interviews and videos out there. Find that instead of giving us boxscores and mispronouncing names. Second — NO MORE INTERVIEWING authors or podcasters. Mike is usually so unprepared and doesn’t listen to responses. The interviews are 6th grade school newspaper level bad.

Similar to Red Sox pitcher Jim Burton in the ‘75 series, Mike was noticeably rusty in a return to action marred by numerous mispronunciations (Geronimo, Drago, Benitez) as well as misidentifying Boston’s manager as “Williams?”

I can barely hear one of the hosts while the other I hear fine. On both new and old episodes. How can I be the only one who notices?

I listen to this almost every week and like the format and Mike and Bill very much. Well researched and delivered. If I had any constructive criticism, I guess Bill is a soft speaker and I sometimes have difficulty hearing him if there is any background noise (like walking in NYC!). Keep it up, boys!
