Mitchell and Ness

Such a fantastic episode. I mean, they all are, but something about the interview/conversation in this one blew me away.

This Podcast is a Homerun!

I’m so glad I started listening to this podcast. Dan is quite the interviewer with a wealth of baseball knowledge of his own. He does his homework, asking in-depth questions with targeted follow-up questions, always conveying such passion for baseball history and interest in his guests. What a bonus listening to the segment at the end as Dan and his mom talk about their love of the history of baseball. I plan on going back to his first podcast to listen to all of them. Thanks Dan, for providing me with such interesting topics to listen to while exercising!
