  • Review of Audacy’s upload practices

    Let me start by saying Rahimi and Harris get a 5 star review from me as a show. Subscribe and listen because Leila and Marshall are great together.

    My problem and the reason for my 3 star review is with the way Audacy takes 1 show which lasts 4 hours with commercials on the radio(about 2.5 hours of content) and uploads it multiple times in multiple different lengths.

    The cratering level of talent on a daily WSCR show. I cannot believe people still turn to this station for anything Chicago sports. A brutal listen.

Vinnie Duber talks Cubs' health woes, doubleheader sweep of Mets (Hour 2)
Q: What are Vinny Duber's observations on Dansby Swanson's recent performance and its impact on the team's outlook?

Vinnie Duber talks Cubs' health woes, doubleheader sweep of Mets (Hour 2)
Q: What is the plan for the bullpen without Palencia when closing games, and could a closer-by-committee approach be in play?
Management may lean toward a matchup-based closer approach rather than relying on a single ninth-inning ace, using multiple arms depending on the hitter and game context as the rotation is still stabilizing from injuries.
Vinnie Duber talks Cubs' health woes, doubleheader sweep of Mets (Hour 2)
Q: How long can Matthew Boyd realistically go tonight and what does that mean for the bullpen later in the weekend?
The expectation is that Boyd's return will be managed with a limited early inning count, around four innings if needed, with the bullpen needing to cover the rest and provide multiple innings across the next three days as Milwaukee series looms.
Texas coach Sean Miller shares a scouting report on Bulls wing Dailyn Swain (Hour 2)
Q: Tell me about the evolution of his shot from a perimeter standpoint and how you brought along his three-point shooting?
Miller describes Swain's development from a high free-throw to three-point shooter, emphasizing persistent work, practical changes to his release, and a repeated practice regimen that led to improved shooting in games.
