  • Essential MiLB podcast

    Started listening just over a month ago. Family friendly and one I can listen to with my youngest son as well. Learning a lot and love the behind the scenes stories. Was a little depressing to find out chicken tenders are only 1 year older than me though haha. Thoroughly enjoyed the Asheville Tourists bear story and will be at the stadium next week, all my youngest can talk about now though "I hope we see a bear too at the game". 5* podcast keep up the great work guys!
