“I am writing this review in passionate defense of “The Roundtable,” which makes me laugh out loud every single episode. I would set the o/u on out-loud laughs per episode at 3.5.
Now, I am a true nerd and I absolutely love the analysis on the “3-0 Show” (and “Rates and Barrels,” while we’re at it) and “Starkville.” Eno/Britt/DVR are superb; Jayson Stark is my hero; Keith Law is a guru; I can’t get enough of these folks. Their takes are supreme.
But. “The Roundtable” is my favorite day. It could be that I have a lot of podcasts that will talk to me about CSW and Barrel % and I eat it up with a spoon, but there just isn’t another podcast that’s like “The Roundtable.” It is like baseball dessert. Grant, Marc and Andy are so hilarious, have such wry, self-effacing, self-aware humor, and excellent chemistry. It feels like a chance for all of us baseball-obsessed folks to laugh at ourselves. In the banquet of baseball podcasts, it’s a three-layer cake.
This is Ellen Adair writing this review under my husband’s account after two days of unsuccessfully trying to figure out how to do so on an Android/PC, which I understand that, for many, will cast the validity of my opinion into question.”
