“An interesting and entertaining talk about all sorts of things, plus a caring perspective on what’s going on in baseball, not uncritical.”

“Interesting takes but also kind of a fair weather fan for someone doing a baseball podcast.... But maybe that’s the point. Your take on consuming information is interesting and helpful.”

“Probably the most negative person I’ve ever heard. Offended by everything, negative about everything, and nothing intelligent to say on any of it.”

“I was incredibly disappointed when Rhea Butcher said in a recent episode that it’s okay if you don’t vote. If you don’t vote then you are letting other people make crucial decisions that will affect your life and your loved one’s lives. Please vote in the best interest of those most vulnerable in...”Read full review »

“Tried listening to this as it was under baseball category and this was brutal. Totally political and presented nothing but one person’s depressing and pessimistic views of the world. Complains about people only caring about themselves and the whole thing is about themself.”

Rhea Butcher is wonderful partly because they are so informed, thoughtful and open-hearted, but also because I had never heard anyone who I identified with talk about baseball, ever.

“Never thought I’d listen to a baseball podcast because I don’t know diddly-squat about sports. But for me, Three Swings is about life. Rhea brings awareness to detrimental cultural biases that exist both on the field and off, while maintaining their love of the game. Addressing these tough and...”Read full review »

“I love Rhea's podcast. It's been great to share with my partner, who doesn't care about baseball. Because Rhea doesn't just talk about baseball she talks about all the issues surrounding it. Wheather it's overt racism, domestic abuse and mental health.
As much as I enjoy the...”Read full review »

“It’s so nice to hear another queer voice talking about a sport I love. I relate to having a complex relationship with the team I grew up with (someday I’ll vocalize my white hot rage at Joe Ricketts).
