Great podcast except… 🤔

This podcast is funny, informative, and filled to the brim with Simpsons references. Honestly it’s my favorite giants podcast. However! They post far too infrequently to make it a podcast I can stay engaged with and don’t do emergency podcasts for big events. Example: Gabe Kapler got fired and there has been 🦗🦗🦗🦗. Please make this weekly and do emergency pods right when news breaks. Also ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because my only complaint is that I want this podcast more.
Love listening

Love listening to these guys! I’m a life long Giants fan but I live out of state now. This show helps me feel like I’m back at home.
Bummer dude

Baseball is an every day grind and it’s really cool to have something to depend on to summarize the recent happenings. This podcast isn’t that anymore. Is it hard to record once a week on a dependable day? It can even be just an off day or whatever. Just say when next at the end of the episode. For whatever reason they can’t do this and boo, cause I liked listening to these guys. Andy obviously hates podcasting and it bleeds into the vibe. Bummer, dude.
If “eat the frog” were a Giants podcast

I used to really like this podcast, but Grant & Andy hardly even hide how much they hate this part of their job anymore. I get it; it’s as much a reflection of the state of the roster/franchise, but this podcast isn’t really even worth listening to at double speed the one time a week they’re even releasing content anymore. It feels like more time is spent on who isn’t on the roster than what actually happened during the previous week & that tenor bleeds into the stale feel that longtime listeners are left with as the season moves along. That said, Grant remains- by far and away- the best writer on The Athletic.
