Good insights, rough listen

Kevin and Jay have good insights on the team. Top notch. They do tend to step over each other a lot when discussing them however. Not arguing but not always listening and building on what other said. Makes the listen rough at times.

Best Padres podcast

Great insight and analysis. Not too long. They do a good job of an episode per series during the season but need to post episodes more frequently during the off season and spring training!

Best Padre Podcast Around

Love the podcast! Really enjoy what Ryan and Kevin bring to the table with their extensive knowledge and some items that other podcasts don’t have with the access these 2 have with the team. Keep up the great work!
