  • DdayNormandy
    Stick to baseball
    Keith does a great job of being fair and objective when it comes to baseball, but his skills do not lend themselves to other topics such as politics. His bias and failure to evaluate both sides of issues discredits his perspective.
  • statedept1515
    the ones about baseball are good
    idk about Keith’s movie and culture takes though, but to each their own
  • your pal Al
    Thanks Keith
    Great content well done from an interesting mind. Thanks!!!
  • Dwoldspice22
    Excellent show
    I have really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I really like diverse guests and topics that is covered.
  • Bob Shower
    Boring and bad
    Terrible and not interesting
  • Kkbadger
    Great show, please stop tapping the table
    Love Keith's point of view and diverse guests. But Keith, please stop tapping/pounding the table while you talk. Very distracting while listening with headphones
  • eriz
    Wide-Ranging and Surprising (in a good way)
    I subscribe to The Athletic mostly to read about baseball. And I was listening to another podcast (Starkville)(also wide-ranging at times) and it was over before I was ready to stop listening. I’d never listened to Keith Law before, and he’s discussing—not baseball, but he’s talking with Dr Elizabeth Hinton about her book, “America on Fire: The Untold History of Police Violence and Black Rebellion Since the 1960s.” I felt like I’d taken a slightly different road home and ended up in a slightly strange and new-to-me part of the world. So, thank you Keith Law and Dr. Hinton. This is a great podcast!

    5 Star Podcast
    This is a great Philadelphia Eagles podcast. The baseball talk is pretty good too. Keith has diverse guests and discusses diverse topics I don’t find on other podcasts. It has definitely made me think about things from different angles. I don’t miss an episode.
  • tony mlbfan
    Excellent
    Always insightful & informative. Keith is a very good host and always invites good guests - and allows them to talk, answer questions, share info and tell stories. Covers a wide range of topics within baseball. Highly recommend for baseball fans.
  • Albearrrr
    Politics podcast
    Man these guys are absolute buzzkills. Instead of talking about actual baseball, you get lectured about civil rights, and money. These guys make it difficult to be a fan of a team or even just a fan of baseball
  • AJunkMind
    Great Podcast
    Podcast as is good as his writing and blogging. Offers great insights on baseball, politics, board games and cooking. Researches the guests he interviews.

    Lefty Law
    Keith Law is a woke liberal Democrat.
  • jaoijepd
    Behind the scenes baseball, smart baseball
    Definitely one of the best baseball podcasts out there, glad to see klaw and the bias cat back. Great topics, guests, information. My only complaint?...the episodes are too short!! We want more klaw!!
  • bdunn1105
    Great Listen
    I am really enjoying this podcast. The variety in guests and topics gives each episode a fresh, interesting feel.
  • Dream Jeff Weaver
    Apology?
    Who are you to apologize on behalf of baseball? You’re a smug baseball writer/SJW....
  • FrederickB1
    Too many politics
    ..
  • Prican3
    Good luck!
    Hey Klaw! Longtime listener and book buyer. Glad to have you back. Wish you and your family the best! Tomas
  • Mikepcfl
    Intelligent and Interesting
    KLaw has created a great Podcast for baseball fans and non-fans who like interesting facts and looking at things from different perspectives.

    Enjoy Keith’s baseball analysis, but not interested in his woke SJW pursuits. Unsubscribe

    The Klaw Experience
    Keith pairs his understanding and views on the game with a great set of guests. Really filling a void in the available media out there. You will not be disappointed.
  • Firstnan2(Fernando)
    Cool
    Cool
  • PaulieWalnuts55
    Klaw is the best!
    Klaw’s interviews are the best. Great new pod!
  • EMAWfan4life
    Great Pod
    Really enjoy the old scouting stories! Please do more of them!
  • Enrico T
    Insightful!!!
    When you can learn something new with each article in the Athletic or from the podcast, it’s worth the time to read/listen. It is refreshing to have objective based assessments of baseball topics both on and off the field that demonstrates an educated viewpoint. Especially in the stark contrast of tabloid sports stories that are more interested in gossip and controversies than substance. The behind the scenes info on scouting, player development, analytics, and organizational philosophies often answer the “I wonder how or why this team did or does....” So thanks!!
  • Nicholas Dupont
    Keith Law clearly loves him some Keith Law
    The baseball content is decent, but it’s hard to get past what a pretentious jerk the guy is. Pretty much your stereotypical liberal elitist bully. Superior content on BA brought to you by some good fellas.
  • Repo16
    KLAWCAST
    Keith is my baseball idol. He operates on levels I can barely comprehend and this podcast was years in the making. Thank you, Keith!
  • M.C.Immken
    Finally, More Keith
    Keith Law is a stud. I used to lament that his appearances in the podcast world were limited to a short weekly segment. If you are uninitiated, give this podcast a listen. I’m sure you will become a fan. He has great insight and his dry humor and occasional acerbic wit are the best.
  • wegryc
    KLaw is the Best
    Keith does some of the best baseball prospect analysis out there. It's awesome to have him back on a regular podcast!
  • Todd Boss
    At long last, Law is back!
    Frequent readers of keithlaw have have begged him to return to podcasting for years. Now he’s back. Law brings independent prospect analysis and interviews with his colleagues and industry veterans. No fluff, no holding back.
  • mas12y
    Love the show!
    Incredible insight by Keith in every episode. Truly a great baseball mind that anyone can can learn a lot from.
  • Booboomorgan
    Outstanding
    Big KLaw fan! Thrilled he has another pod to showcase his baseball intellect. Always felt he was criminally underutilized at ESPN. Looks like The Athletic is letting him showcase his talent. Pod is exactly what you would expect. Serious baseball talk for serious fans. Just wish the pod was longer.
  • Dddaeas
    A New Keith Law Podcast!!!
    I'm glad he's back to podcasting.
  • Errsumm
    Ya boi finally got a podcast again!
    Keith is da realest béisbol writer
  • Russ Jay
    Quickly becoming my go-to baseball pod
    If you have any interest in prospects, scouting, player development, etc. in baseball this is the podcast to listen to. I’ve been reading Keith’s content for years and can honestly say he’s one of the most intelligent and well informed baseball writers out there. I was excited to see that he was putting out a pod because despite having several go-to pods for football and basketball I hadn’t really found one for baseball. Thus far through two episodes he hasn’t disappointed.
  • JSull2020
    What a find!
    So glad Keith Law will be in a regular podcast again! I only wish his first episode had been longer! I’ve subscribed, and I’ll be a regular listener.
  • JRodMcM
    Finally!
    The wait is over! Keith is here!
  • esteen11
    Keith hates your team
    Doesn’t matter what team you favor, Keith hates them and their prospects. Or, maybe, his objective opinions are more insightful than your fan shades will allow you to see. Loved the first pod and all of his prospect writing.
  • BillyBoy1304
    Klaw Rocks!
    So happy to see Klaw back in my podcast feed! The first episode was great and I can’t wait for next week’s show!
  • Thehexisreal
    Can’t Get Enough
    I could listen to Keith talk baseball all day. So glad to see the best baseball writer around back with his own podcast, instant sub.
  • Xxglassjawxx
    Bias Cat
    This is going to be good
  • Mike1335
    Yes!
    Loved Keith when he was part of The Baseball Tonight podcast with Buster Olney. I was hoping he would get his own podcast when he left ESPN. This is going to be great.
  • Youstopitryan21206
    He knows prospects and baseball!
    I haven’t even listened to the first episode and I know it’s going to be good! You need to listen to this if you love baseball
  • KarmaPolice89
    Great to have Law back.
    Loved Keith’s podcasts during his ESPN days, and can’t wait to see where he takes his new Athletic pod. 👍🏻
  • KyleBandujo
    Much-Needed KLaw Podcast
    A Keith Law podcast is long overdue, one of the best in the game when it comes to prospect coverage. I also love how he hates my favorite team, and only my favorite team.
  • Jake Lampert
