  • Tremendously entertaining baseball podcast

    Jake Robinson has developed a cream of the crop podcast for baseball enthusiasts who appreciate humor as well. While the focus is the history of the game with informative and compelling deep dives into players and ballparks, Jake delivers with passion and much appreciated humor which is used effectively and not overblown. As a lifelong baseball fan of 57 years old, I have never enjoyed a baseball podcast as much as Backwards K.
