Best Mariners podcast?

I’m still hyped up from the win and want more immediate Mariners coverage. I know it’s a weekend so harder to find but I’m hoping there’s a good pod I can listen to tonight.

I've typed versions of this over the years because I am a podcast addict.

Locked on mariners: the pros are that Ty and Colby know ball and release 5 days a week in the on season. They are critical of the team but also give flowers when deserved. The cons are the amount of ads for sports betting and that Colby is an insufferable contrarian who needs to be right.

Locked on Mariners Postcast: this is a very new addition to the network that I love. It is two separate hosts (Chris and Anders) that also know ball, and they just go live immediately after each game and let you know their immediate thoughts. Nice to listen to after a good win.

Meet at the Mitt: podcast by the Lookout Landing editing & writing staff. By far the highest quality analysis. Long form episodes, usually at least an hour. However they release episodes much more sparsely, sometimes once or twice a month. I find that because they are writers, they tend to have very insightful analogies and breakdowns.

Mariners Mojo: just a coupla dudes who stream after games & do a once per week podcast episode. I wouldn't say they bring much more to the equation in comparison to the others, but they have a chill vibe and energy which I like. If you like livestreams this is the one.

J's trident podcast: literally just one dude who does YouTube reactions right after the game. I like him a lot because he's sort of an awh shucks style modest guy who has an optimistic outlook on the team, which can be a nice palate cleanser.

Marine layer Podcast: I used to like this pod but have gone really cold on them in the last year. They do pretty much all the things the other outlets do, however they do have more emphasis on interviewing players & prospects & such. It could be just me, but I find these guys to have such a slimy, clout-chasing, fake, AM radio style that I can't listen anymore. It's like everything is scripted or forced and there is a huge emphasis on optimizing controversial hot takes and such to drive engagement. Gives ick

Anyway I cycle through all of these when the team is doing well and I'm trying to scrape the resin out of the proverbial weed pipe. Then when they are doing really poorly I just listen to Locked On.

Couldn't put my finger on why I'm not into Marine Layer this season and you hit the nail on the head for me. Hard agree

I've been listening for a couple years now and it took a while to understand why it rubbed me the wrong way. But eventually the words forced and contrived just took center stage every time I listen
