Listener sentiment
Recent listeners are overwhelmingly positive, with The Roundtable — featuring Grant Brisbee, Andy McCullough, and Sam Miller — cited as the show's crown jewel and, for many, their favorite baseball podcast. Sam Miller's addition to the Roundtable is repeatedly credited as a transformative upgrade, drawing praise for his wit, curiosity, and chemistry with Brisbee and McCullough. Fans describe the segment as feeling like eavesdropping on funny, knowledgeable friends debating baseball and everything adjacent to it. Starkville, the Monday show with Jayson Stark and Doug Glanville, is far more divisive: some listeners value its analysis and interviews, while others find the hosts' self-amusement and running bits tiresome. The most persistent criticism across the feed is that the Roundtable's long tangents and inside jokes can crowd out actual baseball discussion, frustrating listeners who come for substantive analysis. A smaller contingent feels the show has lost depth with the departure of contributors like Keith Law and Eno Sarris. Notably, the most recent reviews — all glowing — are impassioned pleas for the podcast to return from what appears to be an extended hiatus, suggesting the audience's affection has only intensified in the show's absence.
