Phillies Talk: A Philadelphia Phillies Podcast

Thanks for doing an instant reaction pod. Insightful and helped me commiserate with boom, then bust season.

I’ve been listening to this podcast since it was Corey and Jim S. I like it and find it to be informative. However, I’m not a fan of Spencer. He brings no value to the pod. He’s just a rah rah and his oral speaking silks are horrible. I learned in 6th grade not to keep saying “um” when speaking out loud. It’s annoying. When Corey’s not on, I end up not listening. If he doesn’t travel with the team, doesn’t do interviews and never played the game, then I qualify for that job as well.

I’ve listened for many years & I enjoyed it the most w/Ricky Bottalico. It seems that this pod isn’t a priority for NBC sports anymore. The hosts could be more analytical & interesting. The pod often seems late to the party & coupled with the revolving disappearing hosts, it can’t be a place where I get news & opinions in a timely way.

Corey is good. Very knowledgeable and a good baseball mind. Just listened to one with a guy and girl which was basically a couple fans gushing about the team for 20 minutes without any content that is worth listening to. If I had a nickel for every time the guy said “for sure” I could buy a half a beer at CBP.
