    Susan S is the GOAT
    No one covers Oakland A’s baseball better than Susan. Must listen podcast if you are an A’s fan. Good episodes that aren’t too long, great guests!
  • AKlonghorn
    Solid podcast
    The show has a good assortment of guests and interesting discussions about the state of the A’s. It’s a must for A’s fans. The podcasts during the shutdown with Micah Bowie and Rob Bowen have been super interesting! Keep up the good work! I relish anything baseball now.
  • Commerial stud
    Consistently outstanding A’s podcast
    Susan S is an excellent beat writer who has followed the A’s for many years. This podcast format gives her far more freedom to give fans the inside line than either Chronicle hard copy or Twitter word limits. Content is varied and interesting and Susan is always introducing fans to different perspectives from her colleagues, players and people she knows from her beat. One of the best local sports pods I’ve heard. Keep up the great work Susan
  • WAWKER
    Excellent
    I listen to lots of podcasts and I love Susan Slusser’s direct conversations and interviews. You can tell the respect she has from every interviewee.
  • Living in Sisters
    every A’s fan should subscribe!
    Susan Slusser is an excellent interviewer and has an inside track to all that is the Oakland A’s. Love this podcast!
  • John Morotti
    A’s Plus is A+

    Hella Bay
    Pretty much the only place to get A's audio, and it's awesome. Slusser rules!
  • '72-'74
    A+
    Insight that enriches my enjoyment of the A’s. No surprise based on Susan’s writing.
  • Jack Oakland A's Fan
    Fantastic
    All A’s fans know Susan Slusser, the beat writer for the SF Chronicle. This weekly podcast is comprehensive, with 3 segments: a longer interview with a current player, a shorter segment with a player or coach and a final segment with John Shea or David Feldman. If you’re an A’s fan, this is a must listen. Go A’s!

    "let the fastball eat" - Scott Emerson
    I found out about the podcast a couple of weeks ago and have been going back and listening to the older episodes and it's been a blast. Usually when I hear players give interviews, it's after a game and only for a minute or two, but A's Plus offers longer format interviews and you really get to know the players a little bit, which, if you're a rabid A's fan, you want to do. I also really like the "Oppo-Talker" segment. The interviews with Farhan Zaidi and Buck Showalter were awesome. A's Plus definitely gives me a fuller and richer perspective on the A's and baseball in general.
  • Lokizak
    Thank You Susan
