Talkin Mets with Mike Silva BlogTalkRadio

Mets fan trying to stay up to date out of market. Good listen for that.

Solid & thorough podcast, covering all things NYM. Spot on take on the sorry job done by a lot of the media covering the club.

In a world where everyone is trying to get your clicks, journalists have becoming glorified ad salespeople, and everything is presented like the biggest story ever, Mike Silva emerges as a voice of calm and reason.

I became a baseball fan later than most, around 27 years old. While I didn’t grow up with it, I still feel just as passionately as any other fan and it shows at game time. But when I’m talking about baseball, I want to have a fair, objective conversation as much as I can. I’m not looking for water cooler complaining, I’m looking for intelligent insights into the team, the game, and everything in between. That’s exactly what you’ll get with this podcast.

Mike’s take is refreshing in his ability to not give into the daily ups and downs, but serve as a steady ship navigating the waters by presenting an objective, big-picture view of what’s going on each week. It’s a steadiness that carries through the season, treating each week as a small part of a larger progression. That steadiness makes this podcast a great place to “come home to” each week.

Also shout out to the great guests Mike brings on each week. They all bring different ideas to the podcast and it’s great to see the way the guests and Mike debate back and forth while being really respectful in their disagreements.

I’d give it 6 stars if I could.
