Matt Speigel has such passion for the game of baseball. The show has such great vibes and wonderful guests. I learn new things about baseball and broadcasting in each episode and those things often bring me an even deeper appreciation of the game.

Matt Spiegel hits another one where they ain’t with this tremendous podcast with and about the profession of play-by-play announcers and announcing. After listening to a full season of the Beat the Streak podcast and now missing it, being able to listen to Spiegs talk baseball, announcing, scoring and more fills the void. Incredible guests and conversation.
Must listen

This is a must listen. Especially if you’re a sports fan. It’s informative, fun and especially with the Joe Buck episodes gives a great insight into him and how he went about calling baseball.
