    Missing This
    Where are our Onto Waveland episodes? Always enjoyed listening to the boys throughout the baseball season. Bummed if this era is over. #bringitback
  • CubUgly
    Let’s get started!
    When is the first show for the season?
  • Fdhkogg
    Awesome, timely and relevant Cubs coverage
    This is a great podcast! Sports podcast are often too infrequent and they don’t quickly cover the news of the day or they go on and on and on and on only to repeat themselves a million times. The twice weekly nature of the podcasts in season makes it feel constantly relevant and the hosts know when to stop beating a dead horse. Their commentary is insightful and always relevant. One of the best podcast out there and the best Chicago sports podcast from Athletic by far.
  • JessicaHochman
    High level Cubs podcast!
    Great podcast around about the Cubs! These guys are insightful, knowledgeable, and awesome to listen to. Best podcast out about the Cubs, hands down!
  • Jm37jm38
    Best cubs pod around
    I’ve been looking for a cubs pod for a long time and this is it! All three guys know the details and they talk about them in an interesting way. Radio cubs talk is way too high level. These guys get into the nuts and bolts. Very entertaining and A+ content. Really enjoy it.
  • Family comment
    Best cubs podcast
    Not as frequent as others, but fun, informed, and thoughtful content. Not a surprise, Bleacher Nation and The Athletic also have the best written content available. Thanks you all for the time and effort you dedicate.

    Best Cubs Podcast
    I am a regular listener for 3 reasons: 1. Your intro music ( info pls). 2. Sahadev’s laugh. Love it. 3. Intelligent, insightful commentary from 3 slightly different angles. I’m 1950’s era Cubs fan. After the game on WGN the best National League stars would trudge up to the broadcast booth for Jack Brickhouse’s 10th inning. As a 12 year old I listened hard. I listen and pay attention to you guys too. You are a step above the plethora of info available now. Career took me away from Chicago 45 years ago but I’ve never wavered from my love of the Cubbies, Chicago and the Midwest.
  • If I Can Be So Bold
    Good Almost Great
    Brett Taylor and Patrick Mooney are intelligent, funny, and down to earth and make this podcast a great listen for knowledgeable Cubs fans.
  • eccles210
    Brett and Sahadev are the coolest
    Go cubs
  • Clay, from Rutherford
    I don't care for Mooney.
    Title says it.
  • P0dc@stReview
    Would prefer just Sahadev and Mooney
    Brett means we’ll, but needs to moderate not pontificate.
  • the skinny pimp
    Brett
    Recently learned Brett is a bigot and hates Catholics. So that’s cool. Won’t be listening anymore.
  • Danielab87
    Great Podcast
    Definitely the best content out there in a cubs podcast. Love Brett. I like most of what Sahadev has to say but it would be nice if he would take a week off from ripping on the fans, considering that’s who is listening.
  • primemover1
    Refreshing Cubs Talk
    Thank you for speaking intelligently about the Cubs. Most Cubs fans/podcasts are a nihilistic vomiting of pessimism and whim. Thanks for rising above the garbage and speaking clearly.
  • Cubbydaddy
    My favorite Cubs podcast
    I greatly enjoy the insights and humor on this podcast. I strive to be up to date on the Cubs in regards to MLB product, what is going on in the minor leagues and baseball ops and this pod enhances my ability to do just that. Keep it up, please!
  • Ben Garbarek
    Great show - I wish there were more episodes!
    Entertaining and informative. The guys have great chemistry and offer insightful analysis. The episodes post infrequently. I wish they’d record episodes more regularly - it’s a must-listen for me when I see there’s a new episode available.
  • cjduvick
    Go-To Listening For All Things Cubbies
    Great writers lending their voices to the highs, lows, and insights. Always thoughtful and always fun.
  • Paul Husch
    Great Pod
    My favorite Cubs pod by a wide margin. Great chemistry with the hosts. I've been listening and reading Brett and Sahadev for years and while I was later to Patrick's work he is a great read. However, if Bert doesn't give me a fully sarcastic shout I may have to change my stars.
  • Jason Adler
    Too many ads, but great Cubs talk
    I feel like a 40 minute podcast shouldn’t have 3-4 ads. But these guys know their Cubs.
  • Stoshuman
    Very knowledgeable, with a caveat
    There are a few good podcasts out there for Cubs fans. These guys are clearly the most knowledgeable and come to each podcast with good data and analysis. They’re also active on Twitter and do a great job keeping us in the loop. On the downside, the format can be mind-numbing. For writers, these guys sure like to ramble solo. There are times when one person will talk minute after minute (sorry, Sahadev...you’re the worst offender). Guys: get a 30-second timer. If you’re still speaking when it runs out, pass off. Anyway, excellent pod and I’m sure it will get even better.
  • Andrew_Carl__
    Best Cubs Podcast!
    Bert, Sahadev, and Patrick are some of the best in the business! Look no further for all of your Cubs news, rumors, and analysis.
  • WrigleyFieldMarshal
    Don’t Listen to Garbage
    You can tell these idiots have only been waiting for the chance to spray liberal nonsense out and pretend it’s baseball news.
  • Austen Leake
    Great content and presentation
    Very good listen. Informative without being boring or bogged down. Light hearted but not just never ending jokes. Great chemistry amongst the hosts. Easily my favorite baseball podcast.
  • Shootem35684
    Love the pod
    Need to work on the volume of everyone’s voices. In the car i have to keep adjusting the volume.
  • davidu406
    Easy to listen
    Great pod crew and easy to listen to. Perfect length and review of current issues for Cubs fans that can’t be in Chicago. Worth the listen if you need a new Cubs pod.
  • jlschaefer
    Decent Cubs Podcast
    I’m a subscriber of The Athletic but the real thing that brought me to this podcast was Brett Taylor since I’m fan of his at Bleacher Nation. The last few episodes have suffered without him so I’m not sure if I’ll continue listening while he remains absent.
  • ScottSwartz
    Great Cubs podcast
    This is my favorite Cubs podcast. It features three great writers who are really smart and well-spoken. It’s informative and fun. If you’re a Cubs fan, check this on out; you won’t be disappointed.
  • Bho14
    Great Supplement to The Athletic’s Coverage
    Enjoyable Cubs podcast featuring writers from The Athletic and Bleacher Nation. All bring unique perspectives and a lightheaded approach to covering the Cubs. Recommended for all Cubs fans!
  • beardown623
    Doing great, keep it up
    Great Cubs podcast. I appreciate the shows during this no-baseball global pandemic. I’m sure it’s not easy, but it’s so needed. Thank you.
  • IlliniAl
    Just OK
    Taylor as the moderator takes forever to ask a question or get to his points. If Sahadev isn’t on the podcast it’s not very informative.
  • Rossish01
    A decent take on a meh team
    Cubs are having an excruciating year, but these guys make it sort of palatable.
