Wrong content on this podcast. May 7 content is the same as the April 30 podcast. ???!?
You’d think a business centered on audio would get their act together in terms of fixing audio issues after a dozen years but that still not the case. Not only are there inconsistent volume issues between host and guests and also between commercials and and the program. Very annoying and amateurish.
once was great but sadly went political and its crashing. i never listened to AA for a political view too bad they cant stick to sports
POD with Bob W - Bob kept fading out & you miss a lot of what he said.
Interviews are great! Love the insight into sports media. There are a lot of interesting stories in sports media that are almost as interesting as the sports themselves. No one covers sports media like Awful Announcing.
