  • Love it

    I love hearing about people’s journeys to the majors! The Zach Neal episode was my favorite so far! I have 2 suggestions though- 1. Cody and Kevin are great but the pod needs to be about the guest- every episode we hear your stories over and over and it becomes exhausting. 2. When you ask a question don’t answer it for the guest. Both aren’t trained in media so I get the learning curve but it’s a wonderful pod! Keep up the great work!

  • Interesting listen

    I’ve been enjoying listening to the show and watching clips of the conversation on YouTube. The premise and motivation behind the show (parents/coaches need to calm down and focus on making the game enjoyable, raising their kids to be positive teammates) make is really encouraging as well.

    If I could offer Kevin an area to improve, I see his role in this show to be more interviewer than analyst/commentator, and I think he needs to spend more time listening. There was a point in the last episode... more
