  • A beautiful podcast by and for brilliant, beautiful people

    If you ever want to consider yourself halfway informed and/or attractive in any way, this podcast is a must-listen. Want obscure trivia from the late 90’s? Want cutting insight and bitterly cynical jabs that only decades of Chicago sports fandom can provide? Want a third rhetorical question that loops into why you should listen, but ends abru

  • Helps numb the pain of being a Chicago sports fan

    Being a fan of Chicago sports team is hard. Filled with incompetent or garbage families for owners, dopes for coaches/managers, and players who routinely disappoint, sometimes you just have to laugh at their mediocrity (if they even manage to clear that bar). That’s where this podcast comes in. Yes, you’ll learn a ton, but you’ll also have a ton of fun. Andy and his co-hosts don’t ever forget that sports, while they often infuriate us, are still supposed to be fun.

  • Where the Other 15% Congregate

    Sweden’s most popular Cubs podcast is nonstop hijinx. Andy Dolan (of Desipio.com fame) and Mike Bradt (aka Bad Kermit) reminisce about Mike Quade’s eyebrows, Luis Valbuena’s bat flips (RIP), Al Yellon’s crummy baseball blog and Chicago’s worst sportswriters (spoiler alert — Phil Rogers takes the cake). They even occasionally discuss the current Cubs team! 10/10 will purchase again!
