    Nats Chat is the best
    An absolute must listen for any Nats fan. I really liked the minor league updates while Wood and Crews were still down on the farm. Outstanding game recaps and insights. I think I only missed 2 or 3 episodes all year. You guys are the best!
  • ASouthwell
    The BEST show for Nats fans
    Mark & Al simply know ball. And Tim Shovers is an A+ producer — he personally thanked me when I bought a T-shirt and gave detailed answers to my questions about the team via e-mail. I start every morning from April to September by listening to Nats Chat. Can't wait until we're listening in October, too!

    Stellar podcast
    Mark and Al are the best. This has been my favorite season following baseball since I was a kid, and it’s mostly because this podcast keeps me so informed and engaged.

    Terrific podcast
    Simply a great podcast - excellent Nats coverage and intelligent insights
  • DJ Harry Palmer
    The only Nats podcast that matters.
    Al, Mark & CO. are the best! I hope this pod never ends tho I’d love to hear Al Galdi in the MASN broadcast booth one day. Update: -1 star, Patriot Supply adverts? Really? Please know that your audience is smarter than that.

    Favorite podcast
    If it were up to me, there’d be a NatsChat podcast every day of the year. By far my favorite podcast. so grateful to Al and Mark for all their hard work.
  • DCNYer
    Great for cord cutters
    Since I'm blacked out from all Nats broadcasts and am no longer a season ticket holder, the daily recaps have been the only way to follow the Nats. I've appreciated Mark's coverage ever since he started with his blog. Both Al and Mark offer enthusiastic, but sometimes necessarily critical, reviews of the Nats. Thanks for the great podcast and keep up the good work.

    Nats Chat- best Nats Podcast
    Nats Chat is the best podcast talking about the Washington Nationals. Both Al and Mark have a knowledge of the team and of Baseball, as well as the history of baseball in Washington. Well worth a listen every day!

    Daily workout
    Awesome listen win or lose. Goldie is so prepared, never mails it in. Al and Mark are critical when called for so they are not homers. Listen while working out most mornings. Gives me something to look forward to each day.

    What a baseball podcast should be
    Trying to follow the NATS from Alabama is a pain in the butt. Getting a feed after every game, telling what happened, what should have happened, why to have hope and why to despair in the middle of a rebuild is a gift. Thanks guys
  • Mark (Not Lerner)
    NatsChatPodcast - excellent
    This podcast exemplifies what great baseball reporting and commentary should be. They focus on the games themselves, the strategic and tactical decisions, and the team’s performance and progress (or lack thereof). They don’t inject their personalities and abjure the ephemera that characterizes so much of the sports media. The evaluations and judgments are sound and knowledgeable.

    Great takes and recaps
    I listen to this podcast almost daily! Both Al and Mark give such entertaining content in all that goes on with the Nats.
  • ridgely
    No surprise.. a fantastic podcast.
    But the team .. can be. Some exciting young players. Up and down performances by team. But so much promise. All in on the Nats.

    5 stars
    Started listening about one-third into season 2021 and now Mark and Al are on my daily schedule. Smart baseball, balanced perspective and just enough humor to keep it fun. Good production details…no complaints and lots of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from me. Thanks guys and keep it up. Updating to say how much I appreciate the dependability and timeliness of these episodes too!

    Definitely the best recap of the Nationals or any team for that matter in the area! Thanks for your dedication, Al.
  • stinky lines
    The secret weapon!
    Mark & Al are the two best that cover the Nationals by miles! Loving every episode
  • Steve KD 27
    The best baseball podcast
    Nats Chat is my favorite podcast. Al and Mark (and Tim) are the best at what they do. Nats Chat is honestly one of the things I enjoy most about Nats fandom. Here’s to many more seasons!
  • SloanerDC
    Love the show
    Been listening to Al and Mark since their 980 guys. Both talented, hardworking and fun. Start every day with the pod. What more praise can you give?
  • mrzdfree
    So glad I found this podcast!
    As a busy mom of four, I rarely have the time to keep up with my Nats as much as I’d like. This podcast helps me stay “in the know” while I’m on the go! ❤️⚾️ Thanks, guys!
  • fiddlinmike
    Complete Nat Coverage
    Al Gauldi is the best. He watches the Nats detail so you don’t have to.
  • MusicStudent16875
    Best Nationals Podcast
    I’ve been reading Mark Zuckerman’s coverage of the Nats since he started a personal blog covering the Nats after leaving the Washington Times, and I have always loved his insightful coverage. This podcast brightens my day every time it plays, and I could not recommend it more for Nats fans. I also ran into Mark at a San Francisco Giants game last summer and he was wonderful to chat with in person. Mark has a deep knowledge of the Nats and I always enjoy hearing his perspective on the teams and games.
  • Steve / Great Falls
    Wonderful talk with Charlie & Dave
    Al and Mark are always entertaining and informative, about large issues and small. The Charlie and Dave discussion was really fabulous and next level. The discussion about how they built interest in the early total-losing years, how they prepare, the uses and limitations in broadcasting of the recent avalanche of advanced stats, and how radio broadcasts have changed and might evolve, were great and so unexpected to listen to and learn. This is a great show, and even casual Nats fans benefit from listening.
  • drewwwassass
    Best Nats Pod!
    Thought I wrote a review a while back. Was worried about the length, but Al, Mark and Tim do a great job of keeping it condensed and hitting all necessary points from the game and news and notes.
  • Eric of Chesterfield
    Great Daily Pod
    Great daily pod and recap of the days previous game!
  • Gabe Rich
    Best Nats coverage out there. Episode for every game
    Great Nats and baseball coverage!
  • Bruce's Ghost
    Best Nats Podcast
    Essential listening for any Nats fan. Informative and entertaining. Great analysis that is always supported by facts and reasoning. My favorite feature of the podcast is the soundbite drops Tim Shovers throws in there when Al and Mark make an old pop culture or baseball reference. I never miss an episode and I thoroughly enjoy every minute!
  • AWojo20
    Great discussions!
    I just started listening this year(2022), and it’s been so nice to have some honest and in-depth analysis of the mess that has been the Nats this season. Enjoyable discussion and lots of cool information, it is definitely worth your time. I also really appreciate that Mark and Al do it after every game for those of us who can’t get enough baseball! Keep up the great work, I’m looking forward to more fun seasons when the Nats can right the ship.
  • MrBrent88
    Day 1 Supporter
    I’ve listened to this podcast from the very beginning and I love having something to look forward to after every game no matter the result. However Al has been frustrating to listen to when it comes to his opinions on the Nats. At time to me he talks out of both sides of his mouth, where he will praise the Nats for something but in the same point he will be negative about the same issue. I understand the need to be critical on things when they are deserved but sometimes it makes me not want to listen.
  • is1human
    Great context
    Just discovered this podcast this season and I’ve really enjoyed it. Lots of craziness this season and they definitely help me make sense of it all!

    Declining production values
    ads repeated back-to-back are really annoying - volume imbalances between initial ads and podcast content are jarring - wasn't a problem before this year
  • Floofer-G
    Must have for Nats fans
    I love this podcast. Listen to it every morning while walking the dog. Whether you watched the game or missed it, it's great insight. Perfect balance of being fans of the team but also critical when appropriate. Great insight behind the scenes if you don't have time for pre and post-game shows. The production quality can't be understated either. The pace and interactions are professional and sound quality excellent, which is not true for all podcasts. Thanks to Walter's for helping make it happen.

    Consistently informative and thoughtful. Al and Mark are always worth listening to even with the state of the team and farm system.
  • beachtopher
    2022 is a tough year for the Nats
    But these guys have made it easier. I look forward to their reviews and analysis every day. Thanks guys!
  • G. Shook
    THE Best Nationals Podcast
    Mark, Al, and occasionally Tim provide the most in-depth and thought out analysis on the Nationals. You can tell the quality of the podcast matters tremendously to them as well.
  • road to 100 subs
    The extra mile!
    I appreciate this show always posting after each game. Even more so when the team records the show at 3:00am! The show provides a balance of a Nats fan’s passion and an organizational perspective on a day to day, game to game basis.
  • KirkistheMan
    Your Perfect Nats wrap up
    Every Nats fan needs this podcast to get the most informative breakdown of every game
  • terpskins1
    Get immersed in the Nats!
    Morning coffee and Nats Chat! Bummed if there was no game the day before and therefore no Nats Chat. Awesome analysis of game, players’ performances, Davey’s moves, off the field stuff… immerses you in the Nats, who should be paying Al and Mark big for this. Keeps me engaged through thick and thin. I’m proud of you boys!
  • Erertygcxd
    Two of the greatest to ever do it
    Al Galdi and the founder of Facebook discuss the Washington nationals
  • Bald Head Island
    !
    Nats Chat is by far the best way to keep current on the Nats. Al and Tim do a fantastic job.
  • sam nats
    Go Al, Mark, and Tim
    The best podcast around for any true Nats “insider.” Al, Mark, and Tim are the best.

    Best source
    Best source of info. No one is better than Mark Z.
  • ELCEE54
    Great podcast
    This is by far the best discussion of Nat's baseball to be found. An in depth discussion for the hard core fan.
  • saginatio
    Yay!!!!
    You’re back!!! Best MLB coverage there is. Every episode I learn something.
  • 9791Neil
