    Gabe and Andrew. What pair. I am frankly entertained by the show and would listen on that basis alone. But it also has good info. I’d say I’m (mostly) smarter from having listened to it. Haha. Keep up the good work guys.

    One of the smartest and most comprehensive Astros podcasts available. Yes, the episodes are long, but the hosts are passionate and very, very well informed. It is fact based and analytic, but with the edge of a fan’s emotion. Love it!
