  • My Favorite Podcast by Far!!!

    I have been listening to Baconsale for years and with their 500th episode coming up and the expected departure of Zach, I figured I should probably update this review since I think I last wrote this review back when Jachob was a cohost.

    Ok. So I’ve listened to you guys for quite a while. Even went back and got caught up on all of them. I’m entertained by you. You are all very creative. But after listening to you not put Tom Petty, U2, or Bruce the boss Springsteen into round 2, I just can’t give you as much of my time anymore.

  • Arby's of all places?!

    A fun pop-culture show where they do weird things like eating everything on the Arby's menu. My gut salutes you three.

  • BACON! BACON! BACON!

    I loved Kenny D on Radio Ronin, but Kent on Baconsale is the friend everyone needs in life. I love this podcast. It fills my cup with enough pop culture randomness to last me the week. I love the tournament, food and deep dive episodes! Can't recommend this podcast enough!!!
