She’s why I listen.

United States21 days ago - Used to be Great: Too Political Now
I used to love listening to this podcast. However, recently there has been much more talk about political and social issues and a lot less about baseball. Meg cannot fathom when any player has different political and religious beliefs than hers. It is incredibly frustrating as I can’t listen to a once great podcast anymore. I sincerely wish they would drop the social issues and talk about baseball!
Apple Podcasts1hillch112United Statesa month ago - The Tigers Story
Excellent, appropriate, insightful commentary on the toxic behavior among some of the Tigers organization employees. Thanks for tackling the issue and for providing light instead of heat. Keep it up!
Apple Podcasts5childish drivelUnited States2 months ago - Meg sounds like me when I’m drunk and talk too much because I don’t want people to think I’m drunk
I’ve been listening on and off for just short of a decade. I had to turn this off on an episode when Meg started trying to figure out what the gender of the monkey was that was on the back of the Mariners prior to them getting back to the playoffs. I am not against them talking about politics, Meg is just annoying. I will never doubt either of their ball knowledge, though.
Apple Podcasts4BenjaminOriginallyViaMilwaukeeUnited States2 months ago - Meg talks a lot about men’s bodies
Meg talks about players having “stink face” and who should have a beard and who needs to shave it off. There isn’t enough baseball to justify a 90 minute podcast.
