    Best padres podcast
    Truly the best padres podcast, some of the others are unlistenable or the host (cough *talking friars* cough) is uneducated and biased. PAR is a great part and love those episodes
  • Jay-Dee26
    My Favorite Podcast
    PHT is easily the best podcast. Not the best Padres podcast. Not the best baseball podcast. They’re the best period. Craig, Rafie, and Chris are highly entertaining and knowledgeable. They make what can be a miserable experience as a padres fan, a safe haven. They discuss everything from the hobbit to the padres and everything in between. I simply cannot get enough of these 3 and highly recommend everyone give it a listen. Especially if you’re a padres fan. There isn’t much padres content available but this is exceptional.

    Favorite Padres & North County Podcast
    The crew does a great job covering all things San Diego Padres & everyone’s favorite part of San Diego, North County - what more can you want!

    Go Padres
    I love this podcast and the crew! Go Padres!!!

    11 minutes
    Great podcast except for the first 11 minutes. 11 minutes of begging for likes, ratings & patreon. Other than that great podcast

    Go Padres!

    Best Padres Podcast
    Been listening for 5+ years! I get excited every time I see the PHT logo on my feed. Best takes on Padres baseball out there.
  • Dean (not british)
    Best padres content anywhere
    Craig and co continue to be the leaders in all things padres. Professional without being stale. Analytical without being pretentious. Their patreon membership comes with all sorts of great perks

    Politics aside
    Much better podcast when you don’t mention your socialist political opinions, please keep those opinions outside of this podcast. Thank you, America.
  • Cctctcnh
    My absolute favorite podcast
    Craig, Chris and Ralphie are first and foremost padres fans. They have great takes and support them with great arguments and data to make their points. They’re fun to listen to and will make you a smarter padres/baseball fan. I highly recommend joining their Patreon channel as well. Look forward to the podcast every week!

    Smart, Funny
    These guys are so smart and funny. I look forward to every new episode.

    Fun show
    Best of the Padres pods. Craig and Chris don’t take themselves too seriously but know the landscape well enough and are fun to listen to.
  • Ast0718
    Replace the co-host
    This used to be my favorite podcast. Then Gennaro left and they instilled perhaps the most milquetoast co-host imaginable. It’s a shame because the conversation used to be interesting and engaging. Now I rarely make it through a full episode.
  • SEC tipster
    Smartest Pads Pod out there
    Most insightful, intelligent and well produced show covering our beloved Padres. This show has allowed me to really dive headfirst into my Padres fandom and be received by a great community with open arms. The guys are super accessible and I couldn’t recommend the show more. LFGSD

    Hot Tub Review
    This is hands down my favorite podcast period. The hosts are well prepared for each episode and have a great balance of analytical approach to reviewing/forecasting/etc. but also fan from the heart. Although the previous host John is surely missed, Chris and WRC have filled in admirably. If you enjoy the padres you should listen to this podcast. P.S. Join the Patreon. Love the politics too :p
  • Dr Analog Man
    The Best!
    This is by far the best Padres podcast around! Always my first play when new episodes drop. I have been listening for years and love this pod!!!
  • Donkeyheart
    Banter, cursing, laid back
    Love the banter and cursing. Very chill and laid back Padres discussions. If you are looking for wRC+ or O-Swing% go somewhere else. They come across as regular dudes and not uptight I know more about baseball than you guys. Enjoy regular dudes discussing baseball…. It has now turned into wRC+ and O-Swing%. Less Raphie. He should do more producing and less talking. Let Craig try to get some sort of connection with Chris rather than now try to navigate a 3 man podcast. Raphie has PAR. He can talk there.

    The only Padre Podcast you need
    I wish the Padres would hire Craig as an assistant to Preller. He’s almost always right.
  • Keith Stoker
    Best Padres Podcast!
    Craig, Chris and Raphie create fantastic content on the Padres, mixing in depth stats and analysis with tons of personality, humor and banter. Have been listening since 2015 and have learned so much about the Padres through them and former host John! They put out 3 podcasts a week + more if you join the Patreon. They’re simply the best at what they do!

    Best Podcast
    Knowledgable and consistent. Discord community is cool.
  • CWeezy23
    Replace Chris Reed?
    Been listening for years… struggling with Chris a bit. Dude, you need to fix your mic it cuts out in the middle of all your sentences. Craig, your the man. Really enjoy your insight!
  • IanieBean
    This podcast saved my marriage
    And it could shave yours too
  • Friar Faithful
    Best Padres show by a country mile
    These guys are fabulous. One of the best parts of my week is listening to Craig and Chris talk shop about baseball and the Padres. Long live the Hot Tub.
  • Khody123
    I don’t like this new guy
    Who’s this new guy talking about Tatis?
  • dp3422
    John has to go
    I’ve been listening to this show for a couple years now. The insight and commentary from Craig are awesome and honestly that is the only thing that keeps me tuning in. I wish Craig would ditch this guy and do his own show. John comes across as arrogantly ignorant very frequently. His takes are almost always led in with a ranting diatribe that I have to cringe through and then when he finally gets to his point just totally misses the mark. This happens a lot and sometimes I don’t even suffer through it, I just turn it off. There is a need for this type of show, but it’s not worth suffering through John to get the goods from Craig.

    Good show
    Like it
  • Four Year Friar Fan
    Great Content.. Increase Volume Please
    I’m a noob, but have dedicated myself in full. Just started listening to you guys. Small request would be to increase your recording volume a tad. There’s a Big difference between what you’re outputting and what the ads are outputting. Not sure if this was just for the most recent EP “The Padres are actually good!”
  • Roger Maris 1961
    Like, like, like
    For crying out loud…is it John that keeps saying “like?” John should replay his podcast and count how many times he says “like.” Otherwise, like, good info on Tatis injury, and, like, the ramifications.

    Excellent Podcast
    I have started following the Padres and have been searching for some information sources about this exciting team. Some of the other podcasts have been good, but after hearing this one I’m just blown away! I love the longer format and their interesting takes on the latest Padres news. These guys know their stuff and are very funny and engaging to boot!
  • 0fuxgiven
    Disappointed
    Podcast is disappointing to say the least. Please leave your political views somewhere else and talk about just the friars.
  • be8365
    Ok
    Hard to get excited about the podcast when the host keeps yawning through the show. Seriously?
  • The k man from tcu
    Love it
    By far the best Padres Podcast! Very surprised that anyone has given them a 1 star rating, they r super real about the team and give constant accurate analysis with a very fun show. Please don’t change the formula of ur show, it’s fantastic
  • John Precoda
    The Padres Are Great Again!
    Craig and John did it!!!
  • ChipCarton42
    Wayward Fans don’t deserve 2020 Pads
    These guys were so down on the pads before the season, can’t believed I listened to them, piss off. Myers and Hosmer are shoving those contract comments up your you know what’s. Eat it. Yall said they should cut their losses and cut them and have naylor and France platoon 🤣🤣🤣
  • MR-padre
    No longer have twitter to engage but have to comment
    Off twitter again for a bit. NorCal Padre here. Can Guerra be sent down? I thought he had no options but maybe I’m wrong.
  • Tom from Are UFO Real? Podcast
    Right through the 5.5 hole
    Fun, funny, and informative podcast for the exasperated Padres fan. Always look forward to the shows.
  • Nicholas Dupont
    Wonderful Pod
    If you were looking for 2 insecure snowflakes to ramble on about a team/sport they are ill informed on: congratulations, you have found it... Enjoy
  • Tylernewton
    Very entertaining Padres podcast
    I’m not even a Padres fan but these guys and their unwavering skepticism of the Padres front office makes for great content.
  • wilsonjm2003
    Fantastic pod!
    Don’t always agree with them, but love their takes on Padres baseball. Plus the banter. Really love the banter.
  • User8230
    Pretty lame
    Podcasters don't even introduce themselves at the beginning, just banter. Audio quality is poor; volume is loud then soft or distorted. Hosts drop S and F bombs for no good reason.
  • CBelden
    Informative
    The guys are great but I’ve notice they both blame Andy Green ( evidential the most powerful manager in all of MLB) for any screw up and nary a criticism of the front office.
  • WordOfTorres
    Baseball been very very bad to me
    However, this podcast has been great. Brutal honesty, which most people don’t like.
  • YungDulo
    Wow.
    Just terrible & bias. Only fifteen minutes in & im completely disappointed. Some of the stuff these guys say is just awful. 1 star all day.
  • GRobConnolly
    Great Padres Podcast
    I enjoy listening to this podcast on the way to work. I enjoy both Craig and Johns perspectives on the Padres. Thanks for doing this podcast!
  • tuvok mora
    Banter and even more banter
