Reading Viewing Stats Quarters 1 and 2, 2025

We are half way through 2025.  The days seem to move slowly, but the year slips by quickly.  I have
never understood how that works, but here we are.  I haven't taken any time to reflect on what I have watched, listened to, or read this past quarter, but I have continued to record it as I have for several years. 

I do know that I put in a lot of podcast listening minutes in the first quarter of the year, but with the return of Major League Baseball, those podcast minutes have dropped considerably.  With the return of the MLB, I picked up the MLB At Bat subscription where I can listen to all baseball radio broadcasts.  So, as a way to track my usage of the this app, I started noting what teams I listen to on the "Reading and Viewing" stats sheet.  I note any game that I listen to intentionally for 5 innings or more.  This does not include games that are on in the background, and I find myself wondering what the score is.  Anyway, I have enjoyed listening to the different broadcasters and noting the different approaches to calling a game.  I am still quite partial to the Chicago Cubs broadcasts with Hall of Fame Broadcaster Pat Hughes, but I do enjoy many of the other broadcasts like Jon Miller and Davis Flemming on the San Francisco Giants broadcasts.  My goal is to listen to at least one game of every Major League Baseball club this season.
