    Objective Review
    This podcast is tremendous for Blue Jays BASEBALL talk. However, it is unbearably dreadful to listen to these guys talk about off the field issues.

    Best Blue Jays Podcast
    I downloaded a bunch of Blue Jay podcasts and their podcast is the only one I consistently come back to. They are interesting and intelligent about how they approach their podcast. Definitely the best Blue Jays podcast out there.

    Why the negative rabbit hole
    I was so excited to see your latest episode drop after the announcement of the MLB starting. It’s been a really tough few months mentally and it was finally nice to get some good news. Now I understand that’s not a perfect scenario and there are still many pitfalls but this should be at least in part a distraction from the hardships and hear about them in excruciating detail for 37:20 minutes was too much. I had to turn it off. I hope you decide to make the next episode more about the games and players.

    Must Listen for Jays fans
    I can't tell you how much I enjoy listening to this podcast every week. I started last year and have been hooked ever since. The guys bring tons of humor and knowledge to the podcast and the time flies by. I can't say enough about what a great listen it is. Take your dog for a walk and listen to the show. I wish it was more than once a week.

    Very good despite lack of format and THICK Canadian accents
    Overall this is an excellent podcast, both Ben and Arden are well versed in baseball and bring a fresh prospective to the Blue Jays. A nice fresh alternative to the old guys on the Fan590 like Jeff Blair and Bob McCown. My only qualm about the show is the lack of format and/or fluidity amongst the segments. It seems one segment they are interviewing a minor league player and then next they'll all of a sudden answer tweets. The show is all over the place. I wish they had more regular features and they was a structure to the show. Also, they both have very thick Canadian accents (especially Arden - "he's had quite the curreer at turdbase you know eh?"). I just wish there was some way he could tone it down a bit (I'm Canadian too btw).

    Good Baseball Podcast, Especially for Blue Jays
    I started listening to this podcast about mid-way through the 2015 season. The sound quality is good and the two hosts are pretty focused on baseball. It was nice that the Blue Jays were active in trades and then made the post-season: it meant that some of the biggest stories in baseball would be covered on this podcast and I could hear some different perspectives on the action. I had one quibble with them regarding something they said in one of the playoff podcasts. It had to do with the muffed pop-up involving Jose Bautista, where Bautista probably should have owned the mistake but didn’t. The two hosts started talking about how reporters have to make sure that they word their questions to Jose in a certain way so that Jose doesn’t say something controversial. The hosts went so far as to say that perhaps only reporters who have a rapport with Jose should be allowed to interview him. This was a ridiculous statement. It sure seemed like they were coddling their star by suggesting that media access be restricted in order to…keep Jose from saying what was really on his mind? Aside from this blip I’d listen to these guys talk Blue Jays or any other baseball.
