It’s the best option for Giants pods
The news and perspective that Alex brings is great, especially in season. Cole brings up topics that are relevant for fans. But the fanboy and Twitter talk aren’t enjoyable. Twitter is not real life so don’t make it the taking point. It’s better when it’s Alex and Laura. But if you want giants news in pod, and like the fandom stuff, it’s a good show.
Timely and insightful-must for Giants fans
I love the timely in-depth discussions and insights throughout the season. I also appreciate the off season shows to debrief on the previous season and feed our hope and anticipation of the next!
The podcast is a perfect complement to the Giants broadcast team, pregame, and post game shows.
