Overall Great Braves Coverage, Some Shows Better Than Others

“Overall, the Battery Power Podcast feed does a great job covering all things Braves and I highly recommend it to any die hard Braves fan. However, there are multiple shows and some are better than others in my opinion.
The best show in my opinion is the flagship show with Brad and Scott that drops every Sunday evening during the season. I’ve been listening to them for years back when the Braves were one of the worst teams in baseball in 2015-2016. Brad is an experienced podcast host (also host of Locked on Hawks which I also highly recommend to any Atlanta Hawks fans) and always does a great job organizing the show, presenting interesting data that really tells the story (not just “I think this or that” with no data to support his opinions) and keeping things moving. Scott does a good job at sharing his takes in a focused but still interesting manner. I miss Eric being a regular on the show, but I wish him the best in his new role at Tomahawk Take. If you only have time to/care to listen to one Braves podcast a week, I recommend you listen to theirs.
The Podcast to be Named Later (PTBNL), their newest show, is also really good. While Brad and Scott make sure to cover all the news and notes from the past week, Kris and Stephen tend to do deeper dives on individual topics. I really enjoy Stephen’s takes, I find myself agreeing with him more than anyone else on the podcast feed. He’s very logical and data-driven which I appreciate. I agree with another reviewer though that both Kris and Stephen have more monotoned voices so it can get a little boring listening to them. Maybe getting a third host with more energy/engaging style would be a good thing to liven up the energy a bit. But I still really enjoy their podcast and recommend it as well.
The third show - The Daily Hammer, I can’t say I strongly recommend. The host’s style is much more radio like with lots of repetitive phrases he says every show and is just not my cup of tea. I’ve heard him be factually wrong on things multiple times which is irritating to listen to especially when there’s no one else on the show to correct him. I almost always skip this one and wait until the flagship show or PTBNL as anything important talked about in the Daily Hammer will be discussed in a much more interesting way on the other two shows.
Last, not sure if they’re still doing it since Eric left, but in the past at least there’s the Road in Atlanta podcast. I didn’t listen to them much especially in recent years when the farm system didn’t have nearly as many players to watch, but the ones I did listen to I thought they were solid. Definitely the podcast to listen to if you want to get up to speed on what’s going on in the Braves minor league affiliates and who to watch out for in the system.
So overall, not all shows are 5/5 great in my opinion, but the quality of the flagship show and PTBNL still gives this podcast feed a 5/5 rating in my book.”

“Brad is a great host and extremely knowledgeable of the team and the sport generally, and he’s able to call on a deep roster of Talking Chop writers who cover everything about the team from single A To the bigs. A must for any Braves fan”

“First off, love the pod. I have a draft related question for y’all. How do you feel about Cade Cavalli? Big righty from Oklahoma. And do you think there’s any chance the Braves could take him in the first round? bb/9 is a little concerning but then again this will be the first year he’s focused...”Read full review »
