Can’t speak for any other Halos fans but the recent signings don’t make me excited. Arte will never hit the reset button. Arte still trying to thread a needle. Will it succeed? I’ll believe it when I see it, but I’m not holding my breath… Any Halos fans whining about the Dodgers don’t know what the problem really is. ARTE. Dodgers ownership is running circles around him. He reminds of Donald Sterling in that money isn’t the issue. It’s that if he sells the team no one will ever spend another thought on him. And that bothers him. Some people prefer being hated over indifference. Maybe Trump will give him some ambassadorship somewhere. That would be the only good thing that could happen in the next four years as a Halos fan and an American. Arte should lie and say he was a driving force behind Latinos for Trump. Lying is totally acceptable these days. In the meantime I’ll try to stay alive, metaphorically and literally. Good pod as always. How come you’ve never had any other Halos beat reporters on the pod?

This pod is one of my favorite because it echoes and reinforces everything I feel about the Angels. They don’t bash the team for the sake of bashing them. They point out the many missteps of the ownership and how handcuffed the GM is. Please continue to be a sounding board for all fans and hopefully, better days are ahead!
Loving the start

UPDATE: My ears love that this has been fixed. The podcast is still incredible and a must-listen for any Halos fans. Keep up the great work. I’m really enjoying the podcast so far. Only a few episodes in but it is a must-listen for me every time. The only thing I’ve noticed is that the outro music/beat is significantly louder than the audio when you two talk. I know it is a minor thing, but I listen with headphones and really have to crank the volume up to hear both of you talk. So when the outro comes in it’s incredibly loud and blows my ears out for a second. Again, incredible podcast and don’t want that to take away from it. Just a plea for the welfare of my ears
Thoughtful, Nuanced, Necessary Angels Pod

This is a podcast I learn from and appreciate. I’ve been an Angels fan for 30 years. Today, I find the most thought provoking Angels coverage to come from Sam Blum. He’s a journalist and his work analyzing what’s caused the Angels many years of failure is the best I’ve heard.
