    Ivy Insights

    The On Friar, A San Diego Sports Wrap Podcast is a hidden gem that I recently stumbled upon, and I am absolutely hooked. From the moment I started listening, I couldn't stop. The podcast provides incredible Padres information and insightful analysis that has made my daily walks enjoyable and informative. As a lifelong Padres fan living in LA, it's hard for me to catch all the games, but thanks to this podcast, I feel like I'm always up to date with everything happening with my favorite team. After a disappointing season last year, it's refreshing to finally have some excitement around the Padres again, and the hosts of this podcast have played a significant role in reigniting my fandom after 44 years.

    One of the best aspects of The On Friar podcast is the excellent coverage it provides for the San Diego Padres. The hosts, Darnay and Derek, are incredibly knowledgeable about the team and deliver their insights in an engaging and entertaining manner. They consistently bring on guests who provide unique perspectives on various aspects of the game, which adds depth to their discussions. Additionally, their analysis is top-notch; they provide accurate numbers and statistics that enhance my understanding of how the team is performing.

    Unfortunately, no podcast is without its flaws. While The On Friar excels in many areas, there are a few minor drawbacks worth mentioning. Firstly, at times, the hosts can veer off-topic or get lost in tangents that may not be of interest to all listeners. While it's understandable that conversations can sometimes go off track organically, trimming down these digressions could make the podcast more focused and concise. Additionally, there are moments when certain topics are glossed over too quickly due to time constraints or other factors. It would be great if more time could be dedicated to these subjects for a deeper dive into important issues surrounding the team.

    In conclusion, The On Friar podcast is an exceptional resource for San Diego Padres fans. It provides comprehensive coverage, insightful analysis, and exciting interviews that keep listeners engaged and informed. Despite a few minor shortcomings, the hosts do an excellent job of keeping the podcast entertaining while delivering accurate and relevant information. If you're a Padres fan looking to stay up-to-date with all things related to your favorite team, this podcast is an absolute must-listen.
