  • Jay needs to stop his guests off

    The host, Jay Horowitz seems like an awesome dude.

    But when I’m getting into some of the things his guests are saying and he’ll interject and cut them off all the time.

    If you listen to the Port Authority police officer interview that came out today, you will know what I mean.

  • Audio is awful

    Production values are low, which is compatible with Jay Horwitz’s persona, but there comes a point where the lack of production value and absolutely unlistenable audio reflects poorly on the Mets organization. Kiner’s Korner in the 70s never had audio quality this bad. Also, find some kind of jingle or Mets highlight as an intro and try not to have commercials interrupt interviews mid-sentence!

  • Sound quality

    Please adjust your audio. Advertising comes across strong, conversations are low.
