Awesome, timely and relevant Cubs coverage

This is a great podcast! Sports podcast are often too infrequent and they don’t quickly cover the news of the day or they go on and on and on and on only to repeat themselves a million times. The twice weekly nature of the podcasts in season makes it feel constantly relevant and the hosts know when to stop beating a dead horse. Their commentary is insightful and always relevant. One of the best podcast out there and the best Chicago sports podcast from Athletic by far.
