Great podcast! Quick and to the point. I've always liked his pitching breakdowns and I'm glad he has added the podcast!

AK JDW · Apr 2025

With all the negative, ranting Cubs podcasts out there, this one is a breath of fresh air. And great job inviting Tim Stebbins on the latest episode. It was a shame when NBCSports dropped Tim. I miss his insights, knowledge and entertaining analysis of all things Cub. More appearance by Tim please!

Love this podcast, Tony Andracki and Andy Martinez have good chemistry together and they have fun guests join the show. I always learn something new and the guys make my commute fly by! Every Cubs fan should subscribe to this pod!

Great source of Cubs news! Guests also bring must-listen opinions!

This is clearly a company podcast and the content is not too bad. But what I don’t understand is how for many many episodes now the audio level has been so low that you can barely hear it. Then you turn the volume way up to be able to consume this podcast and after it’s completed, and your next pod (that’s published at a reasonable level) starts, then it’s super loud. I listen to pods all day most days and if I can’t hear it at the beginning, I skip it and move to the next one. Time to step up folks.
