Love the one on ones with great guests. I Liked Tom as a blogger, but this is even better.

Smart, Insightful and Fun!

This podcast strikes the right tone. It is smart and insightful without being over the top and Tom asks very good questions. It’s clear Tom is on top of everything going on with the Cubs but gives space to his guests to provide proper context and perspective. These guys don’t overreact, and the conversations help me look at the Cubs in a different way. Plus, I love learning about new beers to try in my free time! Definitely worth the listen if you’re a Cubs fan (and you have some interest in craft beer!)
