    The Robin Yount of Brewers podcasts
    JR and his guest, either Curt or Todd, are excellent every week. They cover the team and you can tell they really know ball. All of them know the current team inside and out, but also can sprinkle in plenty of obscure references that definitely get your brain spinning. I look forward to my Monday morning commute because I get to listen to MicroBrew.
  • Dale Crawford
    Best Brewers Podcast
    Of all the Brewers podcasts I have tried, this is the best one!
  • Hawklibrarian
    Cut back on coffee
    Good and informative baseball podcast. I do wish JR would cut back on his coffee intake before going on the air. The hyper really comes through, although it does make me appreciate Curt’s chill.
  • BW1854
    Microbrew
    Great podcast by trending journal sentinel journalist and co-host Curt!!
  • debh
    A must-listen for Brewers fans
    Really great discussion, and the weekly format is just right for discussion of recent team news and trends.
  • Michael W. ⚾️
    Best Brew in Town
    This is the best Brewers centric podcast. They are realistic about what they see and aren’t afraid to state if they have pessimistic opinions.
  • NUWildcats2003
    Best Brewers Podcast
    This is absolutely the best Brewers podcast. Curt Hogg and JR Radcliffe are extremely entertaining and Todd Rosiak and Curt are very informative. I know they are all busy doing other things, but I wish they could do even more episodes.
  • larygedoux
    Good show
    Good show, but curt needs to stay closer to the mic. I’m constantly adjusting the volume
  • packersfanski
    What a great show
    Love Curt and JR. Funny guys who know ball.
  • ffpell
    Great pod for Brewers fans
    While these dudes know their baseball and do a great job covering the Crew in detail, the reason I love this pod is they have great chemistry. They frequently go on non-baseball tangents that are quite entertaining. Awesome mix of serious baseball analysis and fun content. Can’t recommend enough for all Brewers fans.
  • PWJ
    Five start content, one star audio production
    Love what you guys have to say about the Brewers, but the contrast between the volume for JR and Curt is really terrible. At times, Curt is borderline inaudible, I turn up the volume, and JR is intolerably loud. Please fix this. Thanks for the show otherwise!

    Cool theme
  • TOPH2005
    Good podcast to listen to!
    Good podcast to listen to when your working out or going for a walk !
  • Mr_D_Panther
    Smart Brewers coverage
    This podcast is well produced and delivers good Brewers analysis. Also contains interesting interviews with different Brewers related guests each week. If you’re a Brewers fan, I would recommend making this a regular listen.
  • fan of Robin
    Brewers content
    Just having Brewers content is nice. This is strong up to date; positive content. I appreciate it.
  • PanchoVanilla
    Great program for Brewers fans
    Tons of insights into what is going on with the team.
  • jacksmar
    Great Podcast + Great host
    JR is always up to date on the Brewers and asks really great questions. He gets solid guests and does great interviews with players. One of my favorites was his interview with Curtis Granderson. You got to see JRs ability to research his guest and ask the right questions by his ability to ask questions that mixed in Curtis’ time with the brewers and his overall baseball career! Keep up the good work👍
  • XKC8PDU
    Great podcast!
    JR does a great job of both talking with Journal Sentinel reporters and also some interviews with people connected to the Brewers. Look forward to each new episode.
  • Miller2802
    Great Content
    Perfect length of a sports podcast to keep you both interested and informed. Also, lots of fun interviews with media personnel and players.
  • Del42977
    Fun and informative Brewer chats
    Good combo of MJ brewers beat writers and player interviews.
  • grbpkr6
    Brewers podcast
    Like the analysis. Would want more game by game because the analysis is good in a general way. Love the player interviews. Real fun and enjoyable.
  • UeckBoxHero
    Must Listen for Brewers Fans
    JR is a knowledgeable, easy to listen to host and he consistently gets great interviews with other beat reporters, current Brewers, and the occasional fan favorite from years past. If you love the Crew and you’re a podcast listener, no excuse not to be a subscriber to this one.
  • BrwrFan82
    Great Podcast
    Great podcast for Brewers fans. JR brings in some good interviews with players and writers Tom and Todd know their stuff. Definitely recommend.
  • GoCrewinGA
    Better every week
    Podcast is getting better every week, thanks for hosting. Guest suggestions are Uecker and Yount (of course), and maybe divisional out of town beat writers from the Tribune and Post Dispatch. Would like to get their take on state of NL Central and the Crew.
  • FBis84
    Go Crew!
    If you want the ins and outs of how the Brewers are run and some good analysis of how they are playing, this is for you. JR picks some outstanding people to interview that will provide some great insight into all things Brewers.
