An interesting and entertaining talk about all sorts of things, plus a caring perspective on what’s going on in baseball, not uncritical.
Smart show.
Interesting takes but also kind of a fair weather fan for someone doing a baseball podcast.... But maybe that’s the point. Your take on consuming information is interesting and helpful.

Probably the most negative person I’ve ever heard. Offended by everything, negative about everything, and nothing intelligent to say on any of it.
Such a pleasant perspective on baseball
Rhea Butcher is one of the great philosophers of our time. Even though I am not a baseball enthusiast, I always deeply enjoy this podcast for all of the thoughtful discussions and explorations on life that Rhea shares with us.
I was incredibly disappointed when Rhea Butcher said in a recent episode that it’s okay if you don’t vote. If you don’t vote then you are letting other people make crucial decisions that will affect your life and your loved one’s lives. Please vote in the best interest of those most vulnerable in our society. To not vote is to be so privileged that it doesn’t matter what the outcome is, and subsequently who ends up in power, and this does matter to the majority of Americans, because the outcome ... more
Tried listening to this as it was under baseball category and this was brutal. Totally political and presented nothing but one person’s depressing and pessimistic views of the world. Complains about people only caring about themselves and the whole thing is about themself.
All the host does is complain. Do yourself a favor and just skip this podcast.
This podcast brings me joy! Listening to Rhea and guests talk about what they’re passionate about is grounding and wonderful. I truly appreciate Rhea’s take from a baseball standpoint, on so many social issues that face us in all arenas of life. Thank you Rhea for what you do, your work is important!
Get over yourself. I listened for two minutes and decided I didn’t want to listen to a person whine. She sounds like a college student who needs a safe space because her exam is too rough
the absolute best! always worth the listen
Come for the baseball, stay for the honest and true social commentary and discussion of real humanity that comes through from the host. They're a great human that understands baseball, the greater world, and how the two interact
