Hey Mike, There’s a hip hop record producer who calls himself “ATL Jacob” as a homage to his favorite podcast (“At the Letters”). I just wanted you to know I will be following suit and using stage name “DLF Peter” as a homage to my favorite podcast - Deep Left Field! Keep murdalizing the...Read full review »

Mike, I enjoy the podcast, the balanced criticism of Jays management, and your recent attacks on Atkins and Shapiro. We need more of this in the Jays media, as most shamelessly drink the kool-aid. Back in your day as the Jays radio talk show guy, I remember you were maddeningly and inexplicably...Read full review »

I really enjoy Mike’s weekly summaries, the relevant guests and stories he provides listeners. I respect how he holds Blue Jay management decision makers accountable with his insights. I support Mike’s point of view. Thanks for making this available.

Hey Mike, I’m always learning something from each episode’s interview. Whether it’s how to get my teen to better prepare for games mentally or what routines are successful for athletes that he should start. To the simple - be more confident in pitching and hitting. Keep up the great job!! I’ve...Read full review »

How good is Deep Left Field? As good as a strikeout from Snakeface to lock down down the 8th! As good as a stolen base from Boneface in a crucial spot! Fact is, Deep Left Field MURDALIZES the competition! Nuff said.

Just heard your podcast about Atkins and Shapiro final talk. It is so refreshing to hear someone like yourself be so spot on with your assessment of what they said. I love your show, and I would like to see more Mike and Les guests. Lol. I do enjoy your interviews, but I love hearing your...Read full review »

Thanks. That was a great podcast and although I often disagree with you I can’t say enough to back you up about this theme. We have a very eloquent President of baseball operations. Unfortunately he is also the master of corporate non-speak. I wish you had the opportunity to follow up with your...Read full review »

Loved the post season analysis of Shapiro and Atkins. Curious as to whether Ross is watching these playoffs??? Is he sure the home run ball doesn’t win playoff games?? Thanks for the enjoyable listening while on my walks 😀Marg from Dartmouth
Marg Seaman via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/09/24
Thank you for your podcasts! Curious, why do most reporters throw such softball questions to these guys? Realize Shapiro cut you off because he didn’t want to answer you. Why not ask what you stated in the opening of your last podcast: Why they believe their track record has been good despite...Read full review »

I have been listening to this podcast faithfully for over a hundred episodes now. Mike does a wonderful job interviewing guests. I personally like getting to know the players on a more personal level and hearing about what goes on with them off the field. I really enjoyed the bonus episode...Read full review »

Great interviews and a good snapshot of the week for the Blue Jays This is great compliment to get a bigger perspective and compliments a lot of the daily podcasts / shows that focus on the last game Keep it up !
Elodie_loves_the_Beatles via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/19/24
Hey Mike. I look forward to your show every week. Your interviewing style makes your guests very comfortable which enable them to give honest answers. Not just the scrum answers that reporters get on a day to day basis. Anyone who is a Jay’s fan needs to listen to this podcast. More special...Read full review »

Hey Mike, just listened to your interview with Ryan, Kevin and Jake. Ryan Goins is one of our all time favourite Blue Jays. Here is a bit of trivia. One time before the game at the Rogers Centre while I was doing a coffee run as my spouse waited in line for the day’s giveaway I saw Ryan on his...Read full review »

On our way home from the Aug.24th Blue Jay’s game my husband and I listened to you talking with Geddy Lee in a previous podcast on Deep Left Field. It was so interesting we are planning on getting his F…ing book. We also share the same sentiments about the managing of the team this year. Your...Read full review »

Great podcast with intelligent, thoughtful commentary from Mike and terrific interviews with the great and the good. Outstanding baseball knowledge as well. What more do you want? And when I thought I couldn’t enjoy the podcast more, you had Geddy Lee on. I could have listened all day. Deborah, a...Read full review »

Mike, thanks for the interview…my first podcast listen. As a huge fan of baseball (Royals!) and Rush (Geddy Lee), your left field was right up my alley. Interesting story from Geddy’s book tour in Chicago; I was lucky enough for him to take my submitted questions. One was, “who was better, Mike...Read full review »
M Bradley Oliver via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/24
The conversation between Mike and Geddy was just tremendous. Such a treat for longtime admirers of Geddy’s, catering to the huge intersection of Rush and Jays fans. Well done, Mike!
Jonesy@Ottawa via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/16/24
In a moment when social media has created the manic-depressive sports fan, Mike is a breath of calm and calculated fresh air. He’s been a comforting voice for most of my Bluejay fan life, and especially at times where the team is in consistent not where they need to be. Thanks for all you do!

I had missed hearing Mike Wilner on the radio so it was great earlier this season to discover he has a podcast. Always insightful and interesting. And the guest interviews just add to it.
mr_ladouceur via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/10/24
This is easily my favorite podcast about the Toronto Blue Jays. It keeps me up to speed with everything that's happening with Toronto's favorite baseball team! My only qualm is that I would like to know more about the man behind it. The host, Mike Wilner, seems like a really cool dude and...Read full review »

Mike, I just wanted to say how much I love DLF. It is my favourite Blue Jays podcast by The Star, and your weekly guest lineup is always top notch. I recommend it to all my friends who are new to the game of baseball, they all feel up to speed on the team now thanks to you. I don’t know where I...Read full review »

I’m listening to this podcast for many many episodes, I’ve been a lifelong Blue Jays fan meaning I’ve been alive since exhibition Stadium days. I know the perception and the criticism about Mike out there, and I always kind of ignored it and thought his baseball knowledge and access to the Blue...Read full review »

Thanks for always having great guests on your show.

I miss Mike Wilner not being on the Jays radio broadcast so now that he has this podcast I get to hear him again. I enjoy his guests by & hearing his baseball & Blue Jays knowledge. I miss Ross Stripling not. Wing on the podcast anymore. I really loved your recent show honouring Tom...Read full review »

I love listening to Mike’s combination of weekly analysis, opinion, guests and mail bag questions. It’s great for die hards or casuals, new fans or old. His guests are second to none - my most recent favourites have been Joey Votto, Paolo Espino and Carlos Febles. I also love the regular guest...Read full review »

Thank you for having Jason Grilli on your podcast I miss his passion as a player and I person . Thanks to you Mike for a awesome podcast that is well worth listening to ! Keep up the great work !
David Lendzyk via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/30/24
Mike is and always has been a great baseball writer. Getting to hear his takes on a team he has spent upwards of 20(?) years covering is entertaining as well as informative. Thanks Mike
RKirk58 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/21/24
So glad that I found this pod. Continue the great and frank work.
abraxas613 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/11/24
I’ve been listening to Mike for many years and he has always been a true realist when it comes to the Blue Jays. Through the good and the bad Mike has always told it how it is, there were many years where it was hard to listen to him on Blue jays talk(because the team was so bad). It’s been very...Read full review »

I’ve listened for years but I’ve never taken the time to write a review. Mike always delivers a great podcast, but I truly appreciate his humanity and positivity. The comments on Mitch White’s time with the Jays were truthful but kind, delivered with compassion. And I was so happy to hear Ross...Read full review »

I’ve met Mike a few times at the St.Thomas sports spectacular. He is always open to share thoughts and opinions and answer questions. He does a great job at the event and is always well prepared. Although I have argued with him on twitter. It’s still a great show, you are always well prepared and...Read full review »

I have always enjoyed Mike’s commentary and views. He has the best guests and interviews. I just wish he didn’t beg for people to give him high ratings. The quality of a show will get good ratings. No need to beg. It looks bad.
PrairieBruce via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/01/24
I love this podcast. So many great interviews and conversations - all within the context of a love of the game. I really miss you on radio. Idea - after listening to today’s show, seeing how some guys made the team due to other’s injuries, I’d love to hear their stories and how the opportunity...Read full review »

I really appreciate Mikes podcasts when they come out. He gets the best guests and helps their personalities shine with his interviewing skills. I like the format of a balance between analysis, opinion and interesting guests. The other way this podcast stands out is that it doesn’t need...Read full review »
Petergtor via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/29/24
I’m a fairly new baseball fan, and the Blue Jays became my favorite team after a certain knuckleballer came to town. I appreciate Mike’s deep well of knowledge to put things into context. When players move to different teams or managers and coaches have a history somewhere else, Mike reminds us,...Read full review »

Hi Mike, I’m writing this right after seeing you at Left Field Brewery. Congrats on 3 years. This is my favourite baseball podcast because it goes beyond the analytics. My top 3 episodes are Sam Bautista, you and Dan Shulman talking about your dads and Geddy Lee. None of those discussed WAR or...Read full review »

I’m a long time listener of anything Mike Wilner has been involved with. I miss hearing his post game talk show but I’m so happy to hear these podcasts. I heard him speaking with Jim Richard’s on Newstalk 1010 last night and I would love to hear Dave Stieb if you can get him. Great podcast,...Read full review »

Bias, lame and awful personality. Tried but same old wilner, so many better baseball podcasts
PeterDawn88 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/11/24
Was re-birthing as a baseball fan in 2002 after taking 5-7 years off being young & stupid. The perfect time to listen to Mike and his Jays talk on the radio after the games. He introduced me to baseball again in many ways. Always grateful. His Wednesday’s with JP shows used to infuriate me...Read full review »
WILDdound via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/07/24
The best Blue Jays/baseball podcast, hands down. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Mike last year in Kitchener and he’s just an all around great guy. What I’d give to have him on the play by play and post game still!
Tim Borys via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/01/24
Can’t say I always agree. In fact, I disagree intensely with Mike’s perspective but healthy communities, such as the Jays’ community, have disagreements and still see and hear the professionalism and intelligence of those we disagree with. Mike is a skilled broadcaster and I thank him for his work.
Mike & Cal via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/01/24
Ive been listening to Mike since 2002. I will say that when I first started tuning into Jays talk I wasn’t a big fan of Mike , but….Mike grew on me. I always respected Mike when he would call out those that phoned into his show that didn’t support their argument. I have not tuned into Jays talk...Read full review »
