This is a great podcast. It talks about a wide variety of topics. It looks into the topics very well. It is not just an MLB podcast. The only problem is that it doesn’t drop podcasts in the post or off season. This makes me go to “Locked On” to find out what’s going on. I would give it five stars if it played year-round, but it doesn’t. At least drop pods in the postseason since it’s the most exciting part. It’s a great pod, but doesn’t play enough.
I just wish this podcast was available on Spotify as well as Apple Podcasts - I’m having trouble understanding why MLB would limit access to their main podcast if they’re truly trying to spread the love of the game and make it as accessible as possible to everyone. Really hoping it’s available on Spotify before too long.
To Carlos Peña plakata but I love caps lock your show
