In an era where technology is rapidly expanding with every passing day, new forms of media are being developed. One of the most recognizable forms lately has been podcasts.

Sports podcasts have also grown in quite a number recently as many fans, former players, and experts have started giving their opinions on the game. However, sometimes these podcasts have been labeled to be ”bias”. One of the recent victims of this has been Alex Rodriguez aka A-Rod and Michael Kay.

A-Rod a former Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, and New York Yankees star along with Michael Kay, current voice of the Yanks began their ”KayRod Cast” podcast during the 2022 Major League Baseball (MLB) season. It had a successful run and was renewed for the 2023 season. Things haven’t been critics-free as non-Yankees fans have called them out to be biased towards the Yanks.

Responding to the criticism Michael Kay told recalled that Joe Buck once said that during the 2009 World Series between the Yankees and the Phillies, he was often criticized for being biased. When he stood out in Philadelphia, they cursed him.

When he stood out in New York, he was cursed for rooting for Phillies. Kay added that he does not think that he can make everybody happy and that he does not have any bias toward the Yankees. He said he knows the team better because he lives every day with them but in terms of rooting, he has never done that while working for YES Network and so he won’t do it in the KayRod Cast.
