Informative and Entertaining
John and Jim help us new fans understand the NPB with a good bit of humorous banter mixed in. An enjoyable look at Japanese baseball that’s hard to find here in the U.S. -Ian

I have been listening to this podcast for years and love the detail and honesty that John and Jim bring to their analysis of NPB. I always look forward to seeing who is going to be interviewed next week. Fantastic podcast, keep up the great work.
