Good but...
First, the positives and there are many things to recommend this show. Chad is obviously a passionate and mostly well-informed fan. The content is usually interesting and the discussions are catnip for diehard followers of the team. You do not have to be an expert on the Reds to enjoy the show. I have learned a lot about the team's history, roster strategy and minor leagues through regular listening. Now, to the less than positives. Chad, and especially Jason Linden, I beg both of you to please watch use of the words "like" and "y'know" as buffers between thoughts. I realize that you are not radio professionals but it's hard for ten seconds to elapse at some points without these falling into the conversation. The result is that it much undermines the enjoyment I derive from listening. And these errors are so easily correctable. Removing them would improve the quality of the Podcasts immensely. Second point of constructive criticism, the Podcast could better plan segments in advance. The talk about Brandon Phillips needing to be traded, Raisal Iglesias in the bullpen and Billy Hamilton's speed are interesting but they repeat far too much. Nothing wrong with restating opinions at some point but entire segments sometimes seem to repeat. I'd recommend taking new angles on old themes. Perhaps you might try a countdown of some type or go into history. Final point: It's somewhat vexing to hear the frequent claim that "Brandon Phillips is the second best 2b to every play for the Reds". In terms of WAR, Bid McPhee owns that title and he was almost as good as Joe Morgan.Read full review »

The hosts (most of them) are so often wrong and off base (no pun intended) that’s it’s simply too difficult to listen to, especially an entire episode. History...Read full review »
