Love the pod . Please bring back Danny’s hot take .

Ian Happ has had an absolutely terrible couple of years, and this podcast proves he simply doesn’t care. Dude has never won anything of importance in his career, yet takes time to make this podcast instead of enhancing his performance with hard work and discipline. Maybe he’s actually a genius, it’s something to fall back on when Chicago Cubs fans finally throw his butt out into the street.

For the record, I listen for Ian Happ. Favorite player alert. That said, I’ve learned sooooo much about the inner workings of baseball and ball players that it has helped me bring perspective into my fandom as well as mothering two young ball players. They are tired of me saying “you should really listen to this part when Ian, Dakota and Tom (or a slew of wonderful guests from all over the league) talk about….” I even ordered some Parce! Hearing them chop it up every week is always something I look forward to. Thanks guys.

I enjoy watching the videos on YouTube when will this week’s be available?

It started really funny and the humor element (which is why I listened) has kinda dropped off, still can be funny at times but…

Main stays of the Pod realm

I have loved the cubbies my whole life. Even though these podcasts are over half an hour long, I am always interested and I have never turned an episode off. My favorite part though is that they have actual cubs players on the podcast which makes it interesting to hear there perspectives of the game. I truly think that this is a 5 star podcast

Love me some Dakota and Happ but the absence of Zach, and the new amount of Tom, it doesn’t work anymore. I’ve been listening since episode 62, Tom just brings this pod down. When Shorty, IH8 and Dakota used to just rag on him for being a a spoiled Yankees fan and he used to fire back, fantastic. Now that he’s the new third dude, very meh. Great baseball insight though. I’ll check back in a few months and see if anything changes. For now, I’m checking out.

I enjoy the podcast. Love to hear the inside baseball and interviews. The reactions and general love for the game. Please stop using the word like every 10-15 seconds. It is distracting and takes away from the discussion. Dakota, I am looking at you.

I’m a rabid Cubs fan but I’d listen to this pod no matter what. And, I’m now obsessed with buying some Parce rum.

I do love the baseball talk but I especially love how much these guys are in love with and talk about chapstick! Makes me laugh out loud! Keep up the good work guys!

I love this pod - no matter what happens in baseball, this pod will be interesting - because they have stories and guests. And hearing about when the benches clear or who gets to sit at the back of the plane, or AB’s - and what that all feels like - is more interesting than the final score. And the MLB guests are great because they go from people who I know nothing about, to having an identity and being likable. Everyone who plays baseball I hope will come on this pod- it’s much more interesting to hear the conversations on The Compound than answering a list of questions on other sports shows. The hosts do a great job - the end comes too fast ;). Thank you!

Does his constant interruptions upset any of you?

Just finished listening to the episode released on 7/24 and I had to say how much I loved the straight talk about the challenges each of you face regarding the mental health side of the game. I think it’s important for fans to hear this. Thanks for your honesty and willingness to share this.

Need to start hitting ! The process isn’t working . 1 for your last 27 ! Need to focus on baseball less extracurricular activities. When you get your average to .245 - .260 then sell coffee and podcast

This is the best podcast I have ever listened to. Great commentary and comedy, everyone should listen to this podcast. Great job guys!!

I absolutely can not wait for this podcast to come out each week!! It is the best hour of my week!! These guys talk about everything sports but love it most when they talk baseball!! Especially Cubbie baseball. Dakota keeps the guys on their toes and truly makes me laugh out loud every single episode. Love it the most when they gang up on Tom and his Yankees. Can’t recommend this podcast enough. I’m truly a Compound Junkie ! Love you guys!

Love this podcast. Thanks for sharing your opinions and lives with your fans! Updating now at 200 episodes still going strong! Love the opening day episode for 2024 really looking forward to listening to antics of these fellas.

If good baseball chop with the boys is your thing, then this Podcast is for you!

One of my favorite podcasts. The chemistry between these guys is great. It’s like you’re eavesdropping on an hourlong conversation between good friends, who also happen to be professional baseball players.

Great show, always entertaining. I really enjoy the banter and hearing the players perspective. ERC, ERC, ERC….

Tom told me to

This is for Tom!

Tom and the boys never fail to make me laugh and entertain me week by week. Great job Tom!

Love the pod

One Stop Shop for some quick golf, nfl, general banter, and sometimes a little baseball. With voices from a gold glover, future gold glover, man who pitches with a glove, and a fan of gloves.

I look forward to this podcast with the boys every week.

Do you like baseball pods that sometimes get derailed with football talk, rum that saves the planet, and excuses for screen time? If you said yes to any of that this is the pod for you.

Been listening since day 1 in the original compound. Love their insight into the world of baseball. Guests are top notch. We do need more Scotty E appearances. Tolerate the football and golf discussions because the guys are so passionate about both and it gives them joy. 😀 Their friendships are genuine and that is part of what makes this pod so enjoyable each week. Thanks for sticking around and bringing a smile to the start of my day each time I listen. (Tom - Go Birds! ISU Class of 1994!)

This is my favorite baseball podcast. It’s main focus is on the Cubs but Ian, Zack, Dakota and producer Tom do a great job of hitting on all the major topics from around the league weekly. If you are looking for some great insight from players in the league this is your podcast!!!!

Great pod! Been with it since the road-trip and Ian got ignored while leaving. Love getting it in the feed every week and hearing the boys opinions on all things sports even then Tom tries to get them to talk only baseball.

This is the only podcast I listen to and look forward to each week. Love Ian, Zack, Dakota and Tom’s insights on baseball as they give an inside look to what has happened in baseball that week. It’s fun having Tom’s view as a fan as well, even if he is a Yankees fan (boo, Tom)! Keep up the awesome work everyone!

Ian, Zack, and Dakota all are always funny and do a good job of sharing their baseball experiences and talk about things around the league.

Love these clowns hearing the other side of players lives especially when they were living in tough conditions while coming up is a window into the tough climb up.

Love hearing from the players about the sport they play and love. Great mix of personalities. Keep it up! Anyone else notice how an excited Ian Happ sounds a bit like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys???

Never miss a episode! Ian Dakota Zac & Guests give it to you from a front and center seat! Love these guys!

Such a great podcast to get a first person perspective of athletes lives

Ian Happ is an amazing baseball player for the Chicago Cubs and a really cool podcast host. This is one of my daily podcasts! Thanks Ian!! @LSu678, they did get hits against the the Reds,in fact in the last game of the 2022 season the Cubs won 15-2 against the Reds

Great podcast. Only one I listen to. Especially good with guests. Short let’s get A.J. On the cast.

My favorite thing to listen to!

One of my go-too’s

Can’t get a hit against the Reds

Have followed this podcast from the beginning. It’s a great insight to baseball players life and their perspective of the game. A must listen to podcast!! Go Cubs and Tigers.

A must listen for baseball fans! Awesome!

Happ is my favorite cubs. He hits lasers and doesn’t afraid of anything

Love this Podcast and these three guys. Best day of the week is Tuesday, Compound day.

This is good you not only get to learn more about baseball you also learn more about the players and what the do during the off-season keep going and I’m a tiger fan so I will also say this go tigers!

This is a good substitute for baseball. If you’re not listening to this podcast, you are missing a lot of fun and some great banter! Guys, you are awesome and keep on podcasting. (I would like to request this continue into the season.)

This latest episode “MiLB Cuts” it’s absolutely incredible. Keep up the terrific work guys. 10/10. No, 15/10. Love it.

Supporting my locked out workers while they are fighting for concessions from the billionaire owners. Solidarity boys. Ian and the boys join DSA CHALLENGE and have some super radical labor actions.
