  • Great baseball podcast

    If you are interested in MLB or baseball in general at all this podcast is a weekly must listen. They also have weekly mini casts but the main weekly show is among the best baseball podcasts out there in my opinion.

    This is my favorite sports/travel/education/comedy podcast. It's the best, in the weak-ish podcast baseball category Baseball PhD shines like a beacon in the night. Each week I look forward to new episodes with great anticipation. I eagerly subscribed and purchased their app on iTunes, where I'm currently chewing through their tremendous backlog! Keep up the good work fellas!
