Fine background podcast
A short daily podcast between 15 and 25 minutes involving minimum effort expended by the hosts/guests (as they do love to underscore...repeatedly...) and requiring little of the listener (not a bad thing necessarily). It's often not particularly informative, more a reflection that they don't tend to discuss topics they've really prepared in advance, but it's helpful they only cover a topic or two and list this on the download--I tend to skip 2-3 a week as a result. At it's best it's perfectly fine and at it's worst (when either/both Ben and Sam go out of their way to note how little they care for podcasting and how much they are "mailing it in") you can delete it. It I'd give it two and a half stars overall and consider it inferior to the somewhat similar Fangraphs podcast which is generally more clever or at least more pithy.Read full review »
