Customer Reviews
Dream come True!
This is the best baseball podcast I’ve ever heard! And I’ve heard them all believe you me.
Surprisingly wonderful
I’m not a huge sports fan, but the sharp analysis, twisty narrative story telling and incredible scoring have me hooked. I will definitely keep listening. And I’m learning a lot about the Dodgers.
Not a dodger fan
As someone who’s not a dodger fan and hates sports in general, I am surprised I listened to this but wow am I glad I did. Just really good storytelling - honest, compelling, even funny sometimes. Makes me want to actually watch some games - maybe I’ll even enjoy it.
