Canada2 months ago - Best Podcast Ever
Had never looked on here to see the other reviews before, but I am genuinely shocked to find that anyone has anything negative to say about this podcast. I would run through a wall for Ben and Meg. You guys are the absolute best and anyone saying otherwise quite simply does not know ball. ❤️❤️❤️

Australia2 months ago - Bloated episode creep
I’ve been listening since the first Sam miller days. It was my favourite podcast for many years. But with

Apple Podcasts1Qazwdxedc rfvtgbCanada2 months ago - It’s a bulk podcast
If you need to listen to something to keep the voices away, it’ll do the trick. If you have better things to listen to, you should. There are less repetitive, self-indulgent baseball podcasts out there, I swear! Always listen at 1.5 speed and be prepared to skip the unbearably cringe fan-made theme songs
