  • A great talk and a loving perspective on baseball.

    An interesting and entertaining talk about all sorts of things, plus a caring perspective on what’s going on in baseball, not uncritical.

  • interesting takes

    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.

  • 100% Negativity

    Probably the most negative person I’ve ever heard. Offended by everything, negative about everything, and nothing intelligent to say on any of it.

  • I Always Get Something

    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.

  • Please do vote!

    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

  • Painful

    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.

  • Self loathing

    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
