“Many people get introduced to podcasts through guys like Joe Rogan. But my first podcast was swing and a belt. The production value of this podcast is top notch. And I learned so much about the game and the people in the sport.”
“As a fellow broadcaster, Dan is one of those storytellers I strive to be. He knows when to be serious and when to have fun. He also has a massive rolodex to get all the great guests, which allows for such unique perspectives instead of your standard "two guys nerding out on baseball for an...”Read full review »

“Great job to the team and of course to Dan for his excellence in story telling. Never heard in the 30 years I’ve listened to Dan Shulman, such guttural passion as for the Philadelphia ice cream in the Remote Reporters episode...LOL. Great job! A Swing and a Belt is a lot of fun.”
“A Swing and a Belt is even better this year. The new format, the shorter episodes, it all works flawlessly. Kudos to Dan and his team. What a treat to listen to this show in these crazy times.”
“This is absolutely the best baseball podcast! Dan Shulman has such a smooth, enjoyable voice and is in a league of his own when it comes to interviewing. He is clearly well-respected by everyone associated with MLB and baseball in general. He gets such interesting guests and his conversations...”Read full review »

“Let’s face it, most sports podcasts are sophomoric “lads, lads, lads” kinda deals. Mr. Shulman’s has intelligence, wit, warmth and human interest. So happy it’s back.”

“He makes baseball contagious! Love the podcasts and the enthusiasm and the knowledge he shares with us. Glad he is back in Toronto working with the Blue Jays.”
“I always enjoyed him years ago, on The Fan 590.Later, if we got one of the ESPN games he worked - now we're lucky he's home doing Jays games again. Plus, this fantastic podcast, where he shows his love for the game & knowledge of the past. I make sure to listen to the last 30 seconds...”Read full review »

“Dear Dan,
Admittedly I was *beyond tempted* to write a full review of A SWING AND A BELT after my very first listen (usually) at the gym way back when, but decided to hold off. Why? I wanted my awe to sink in and fully-permeate the red blood cells...
What you and the Sportsnet gang have...”Read full review »

“I live in the UK and I was expecting the podcast to be a review on the Blue Jays. Instead, it's a look into the organisation and into other aspects of the sport that is rarely looked at. It's a really enjoyable podcast which is helpful for those to wish to learn more about the sport and...”Read full review »

“What a great podcast. Dan does a tremendous job interviewing people. Love the music between interviews. The stories are amazing. If you love baseball and it’s stories and people. This is a “must” listen.”
“Anything Dan Shulman does is fantastic. Love that has his aspiring-to-be-broadcaster son is helping him out. Great subjects from one of the best in the business! Keep’em coming!”
“Dan Shulman hosts this excellent podcast which gives you behind the scenes interviews with some fascinating guests. The only suggestion is to either make the show longer or cut the number of interviews so one can get into more in-depth information.”

“Informative, interesting, welcoming, genuine. A velvet voice sharing the stories of the game of baseball. The musings of the storytellers is pure gold! It’s relaxed - I feel like I’m in the room with the people talking.
For me, baseball is littered with stories, myths and legends of everyone,...”Read full review »
