Baseball by the Book delves deep into the heart of play. Bunt, Single, Double, Triple, Home Run! This podcast covers all the bases! And even some that I didn’t even know about, more and more.... The new intro music is cool. ...

I really enjoy this podcasts. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys baseball from any era. I especially enjoy episodes on the older eras of baseball, hearing stories of baseball’s legends are great. Highly recommend to any baseball fan.

I really enjoy these podcasts. I am a life long baseball fan, but I always learn something even if I had already read the book. Excellent interviews.

I really like the podcast and the content, but the audio quality is frustratingly inconsistent. Part of that is because the guests are generally calling in over the phone (Justin, services such as Squadcast.fm and Riverside.fm provide far better ways to record quality audio for your interviews,...Read full review »

To find this podcast to fuel a passion of mine has been great. Been trying to build a collection of baseball books and this hits it out of the park. The best part is hearing the passion and enjoyment of their books come through while they talk about it. Love posing the Pete Rose/Shoeless Joe...Read full review »

Love this podcast. It’s different then all the other baseball podcasts out there. Some of the most interesting baseball minds are on this show. Absolutely love it. Great podcast on the 2011 Cardinals.

Mike Pugliese via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/29/21
I just found this recently and I have become a big fan in a short amount of time. I listen to one episode on the way to work and another on the way home. Justin is an astute host and interviewer and the writers never disappoint.
6Spanns via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/21/21
Started listening a few weeks ago and I’m addicted. Have listened to 20+ episodes during that time.
jknol73 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/21
This has been my favorite podcast for a few years now. Unfortunately, it’s gotten a little too political and every episode seems to involve discussions on race. It’s just that I have enough of that in my daily life and I was really enjoying the break from that. I guess everything is about that in...Read full review »

I’m so glad I found this podcast. The format and content is wonderful.
mikecnorthwest via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/21
I Want to read every book they review! Before I started listening, I didn’t read many baseball books. Now I am reading one all the time.
cc shamrock via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/21
This podcast reignited my passion for baseball history. Thank you !!!!!
Texas Wino via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/21
If you like reading and baseball this is the best podcast of its type. You don’t have to have read the book, it gives you a sense of the subject matter.
Edward Per via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/21
If you’re interested in baseball and its history, than this is the podcast. Stumbled across it when reading reviews of a new book. Now I’m devouring past episodes. Great work!
SoulDriver via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/21
I’ve tried 3 different episodes and I didn’t last more than minutes with any of them. Every guest is quite knowledgeable but they talk endlessly. It’s as if they like to hear themselves talk. Great subject matter but I can’t do it.

I love this podcast.
Jack Berens via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/21
This podcast is a great listen for anyone finding themselves counting down the number of days until baseball comes back. In all seriousness, Justin has interesting and engaging conversations with a variety of authors. The podcast is easy to listen to, and often gets me searching at my library for...Read full review »
JIKJen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/21
I’m a huge fan of this podcast. I read a lot of baseball books its nice to hear Justin interview the authors so I can decide if the book is one I need to read. I recommend it to all my friends who are big baseball fans like myself.
Chris in PGH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/20
I can’t get enough of these podcasts. Justin really does an excellent job with these, and it has really helped me to expand my knowledge about baseball. I wish I had more time to read all of these books, but the podcasts are very entertaining and give you what you need to know. I look forward to...Read full review »

This is one of the best baseball podcasts available.
Doc from Flatrock Ford via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/20
I love this podcast. I somehow stumbled onto the Cape Cod league episode. I have been hooked since. Justin does just enough explanation to bring those without extensive knowledge of baseball lore into the interview. Made me me a regular viewing fan of the game again.
Seabass405 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/20
Justin does an awesome job of preparing for these author interviews, asking not only about the content of the book, but its creation as well. I enjoy hearing about books I’ve never heard of before and continuously adding to my list! From well-known titles to hidden gems, Baseball By The Book is...Read full review »

Great interviews. Almost as important, good PRODUCTION. Listenable in the car, or when working out. (not all pods pay attention to “listenability” - it’s important)
InTitoWeTrust via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/05/20
I really enjoy listening to this podcast while I work out
MrDean13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/20
Really enjoy this podcast. Justin does a great job delving into baseball literature, and vares it up enough to include history, contemporary topics, and more cultural/societal subjects. Fascinating to hear from authors.
jleisek via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/20
I stumbled upon Baseball by the Book when the 2020 season was wrecked by the pandemic. This has to be the most rewarding, entertaining and educational baseball podcast I’ve ever listened to. It satisfies my needs as an avid reader and baseball fan, and I look forward to every episode.
cbtharr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/20
Even if you don’t like to read, this podcast is entertaining. There is so much substance in each episode that you will learn a lot about baseball without ever reading a single one of the books mentioned in this podcast. Strongly recommend for readers and non-readers alike.
Brady1110 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/20
I listen to this podcast in the U.K, I love baseball and books so what better podcast to listen to !! Justin has some great guests and his knowledge for the game never fails to astound me. Great podcast keep it up and as I said this is the best hour of my working week listening to the show
Luke UK Steeler via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/18/20
As a fan of baseball history this is one on my favorite podcasts. Recommend it for anyone who loves the history of the game.
l61c via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/20
I love this podcast so much! It expands my knowledge of baseball and gives a comprehensive overview of baseball books that give a much better idea about the contents of a book than just reading the back cover would. This podcast has kept me going through the covid-19 crisis when baseball has been...Read full review »
BNT71185 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/20
Hands down one of the best podcasts out there. Justin is knowledgeable and passionate about baseball and this comes through when he is talking to his guests. Having said this one of the best aspects of the podcast is that he also lets the guests have their voice. He doesn’t talk over them or try...Read full review »

If you’re like me, there isn’t enough time to read all of the books one wants, baseball or otherwise. This podcast features interviews with authors of baseball books and provides a thorough overview of the book with often fascinating stories from the authors. Justin, the host, is a skilled...Read full review »
willie plett via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/20
This guy starts the podcast with, “the only podcast worth listening to” - some strange and uncomfortable boast. The questions are often stilted and awkward but, still, you will find out about some good books and the authors are usually marvelous.
SouthwestDude via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/20
Well researched, thorough, terrific guests and intelligent questions. What I especially like is Justin’s willingness to listen. He is not enamoured with the sound of his own voice and patiently lets the authors answer his questions. Congratulations on an absolutely first rate show.
mtw59 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/17/20
Baseball lends itself so well to books. This program celebrates that. Please listen and support the authors featured that inspire you!
