The HOVG Podcast: 2025 Top Ten Episodes (Part One)

After ten years and close to 500 episodes, it would be really easy to coast and put out a “didja hear about this?” podcast, but we strive to do something different from week to week.

In the last twelve months, we talked to a World Series champion, someone who should be baseball’s next commissioner, your dad's favorite drummer, a f*cking demon(!) and a dude who called Veterans Stadium home. Literally.

Suffice it to say, once again, we covered it all and then some.

So, as the calendar changes from 2025 to 2026, it’s crucial to reflect on everything that has happened these past 12 months both on and off the diamond.

Most important…what were the TOP TEN, er, ELEVEN(?) listened to episodes of The Hall of Very Good Podcast?

Here you go!
