“Infinitely well written and joyfully crafted. A true gem. This pod keeps getting better.
When you embrace that baseball is life and life is baseball, then you find yourself in a special type of infinite inning.

“Thought this was a baseball podcast. Turned out to be political rambling. I love baseball history…I’m sure there’s some of it in here, but the political overtones are a serious turn off. Beware.”

“Always very Happy to have the chance to listen to Steven Goldman’s excellent podcast The Infinite Inning. It makes my commute very special and the longer the better.
Like getting a letter in the mail from an old friend you think of often but don’t always get the chance to visit with.
Best of...”Read full review »

“This is essentially an abstract column on the interaction of baseball, philosophy, history, & current events. I sometimes find Stephen’s politics to be nauseatingly smug & disconnected but I think his freewheeling commentary is crucial to the flow & depth of the show. The way Stephen...”Read full review »

“Been listening for about a half year. My enjoyment of the entertaining, albeit wordy, baseball stories has been steadily eroded by the smarty pants moralizing on pretty much every hot button progressive talking point. Thinking about baseball ought to put one in a good state of mind. This podcast...”Read full review »

“I love Steven’s eloquence and warm personality. I love his genuine interest in the lives, foibles, and tribulations of obscure figures from the entire swath of baseball history. But I have to give this 4/5 stars since I only listen to about 4/5 of any given episode; the political diatribes are...”Read full review »

“A great example of what a podcast can be - Goldman tells great and obscure baseball stories, with a historical knowledge that’s bit bonkers in it’s depth, but he also ties these stories in subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle ways to current events, both in baseball and the wider, depressing world...”Read full review »

“I’ve been with Mr. Goldman since he started this pod, and it’s up near the very top of my “favorite podcast” list. Two great baseball stories start the episodes off, and then he has a conversation in the third segment that usually is loosely hinged to baseball, but could go anywhere! Also plays a...”Read full review »

“I love baseball history. Steven does a great job of making each story from baseball’s past (many of which I, a lifelong fan, have never heard before) personal but not too personal. He has fun with it. You will too, unless you detest The Great American Songbook and carry an NRA card.”

“Perfect pacing, perfect mix of thoughtful monologue, baseball lore, intro and outrospection. It’s tone and pacing let me listen to it to fall asleep sometimes, but then I’ll re-listen to it later. It’s about baseball but it also makes me feel like a better, more thoughtful human too.”

And the music is so fun.”Read full review »
