  • The Best Baseball Podcast

    This is the best baseball podcast, may even be best baseball CONTENT . Great guests and love how they take the coverage beyond the A’s and will do deep dives on baseball in general. I am Townie’s age so I love all of the 80s and early 90s baseball references. Cody is great also, the perfect wingman for Townie. Keep up the great work boys and more Ed Halicki references please!

  • The American Version of State-ran Media

    A’s Cast was once upon a time an outlet for fans to vent and celebrate and Towny was an ally of the fans. Now A’s Cast is an outlet for the A’s to push their Vegas propaganda and Towny is a shill to John Fisher and Dave Kaval. Going along with the organizations, current social media fan blockade, I am sure they will do away with a post game call in show. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are reaching out to Apple to block negative reviews of A’s Cast.
