So excited to watch this new podcast all throughout the Astros’ upcoming season.
Great dynamic of two different perspectives

I'm loving this podcast. Having the mix of a reporter with the inside info along with a fan's perspective is much better than just two of the same views. Throw in Josh Reddick with his candor and experience as a player, and this is a die-hard fan's dream. But please work on the audio situation for Reddick.
Love This Show

Although I am a Dodgers fan this show is amazing. I love that Josh Reddick is on this show he gives his honest truth.
The best Astros podcast

Love the pod and the frequency plus the emergency pods as needed. One suggestion though. Please get Josh a better mike. The difference in sound quality of his vs the other two is a lot. Best pod in town!!
