Overall, I really like this podcast, primarily because I think Tim Britton provides great coverage of my Metsies and I like to hear his insights on the team. Ted Berg can be a little annoying at times, but I give him a pass because he's generally pretty knowledgeable and I appreciate his passion for the topic. HOWEVER, someone needs to teach Ted a thing or two about speaking into a microphone. It does not require yelling for your listeners to hear you and you need to speak a certain distance from the mic to avoid overmodulating. I usually listen to this podcast using headphones when I'm out walking and the overmodulation of Ted's mic has brought me to the brink of turning off the podcast on multiple occasions. I'm sure some of this has to do with the setting in which the podcast is being recorded during the pandemic, but it is a fixable problem. A good sound or audio enginner should be able to set up Ted's portion of the recording--and give him a little guidance on using the microphone--so that it is far more listenable. If Tim's mic can sound fine, so can Ted's (especially when he learns to speak at a normal conversational volume). I have worked in radio and the audio entertainment industry for 35 years, but I'm not an audiophile. It just stuns me that a professional media organization like The Athletic can put out an audio product that sounds so poor. Fix the audio production on this podcast and my three-star rating will jump to five stars.Read full review »

Enjoying the show. Please change the artwork. It’s very hard to read, has poor color contrast, and reminds me of the hideous black jerseys. Thanks!

They spend a lot of time talking about who tweeted what, and other social media updates. They seem more interested in that than roster construction, prospects, pennant hopes.
