  • Great Pod

    I don’t follow baseball. I have gone to a handful of Flying Squirrels games but I don’t think I have ever intentionally watched baseball on TV in my life. But I’m a sicko that likes listening to podcasts and this group is so fun to listen to that I don’t even mind that they spend most of the podcast talking about people I have never heard of. I’m sure if you are into baseball it’s even better.
