  • Real Mets Fans

    I recently discovered them and quickly fell in love with their podcast. They are not only Mets fans, they are realistic Mets fans, and I find I am agreeing with most of what they say. They keep it simple, they keep it real and also entertain, hoping to continue enjoying their podcast for a very long time.

  • Great Mets podcast!

    Love hearing these women discuss the Mets world! They are informed, professional & engaging. Barring SNY’s The Mets Pod, all other podcasts about the Mets have obnoxious hosts ranting & raving about their lives & other sports. This is a breath of fresh air! Thanks, ladies!
