What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

These guys are very serious players in the high stakes/expert universe. Sometimes their advice is subtle but still unequivocal. A perfect example was an exchange in the preseason about Tylor Megill. When Van inquired about Megill both Rob and Jeff immediately agreed that Megill would make his way onto their teams and that was it. They speak, I listen. Thank you gentlemen, I ended up with Megill everywhere I could. There are two or three difference makers like this every year that I probably wouldn’t target without their help.

fleacadia · May 2022

The highly quantitative nature of Launch Angle makes it the best podcast for serious fantasy fans. It’s all substance and no fluff. I love how almost all the opinions are backed by Jeff’s numbers and Rob’s probabilities. Van also does an excellent job keeping the conversation moving. Best 60 minutes of my fantasy week.

Jon Lombardo · Mar 2022

One of the most entertaining fantasy baseball podcasts I’ve heard. Jeff, Rob, and Van have great chemistry and insightful discussion.

WillTheThrill_93 · Feb 2022

Excellent podcast, with outstanding and in-depth analysis which can help you draft and win your leagues. Van is a great host with his radio background, and Jeff and Rob are both top-notch analysts. Their series on each draft slot after pick 100 has been “must listen” material. Highly recommended!
