Reviews

3.9 out of 5 stars from 592 ratings
  • 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. It throws off my “Up Next” queue. You get the (full show) upload, EACH of the 4 individual hours, plus 3-6 short 15 minute clips ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What we learned from Coby Bryant being Bears’ top priority in free agency (Hour 1)
Q: What made Kobe Bryant the Bears' top priority in free agency?
The combination of his proven performance on a Super Bowl-winning defense, his age, and the Bears' belief that he would bring immediate impact and leadership, along with the team's clear messaging that they wanted him, which Bryant publicly echoed in his remarks.
5 On It & Phil Mackey talks Vikings' quarterback room (Hour 3)
Q: What is the current state of the Vikings' quarterback room, and where does JJ McCarthy fit in?
Mackey suggests McCarthy has leadership appeal but questions linger about his long-term fit, given the other signal-callers in the room and the team's recent bets at the position.
Best of the Cubs: Ron Coomer previews the 2026 season
Q: What is the plan for Taillon's workload early in the season given spring struggles?
The panel suggests monitoring Taillon closely, considering his mechanical and mental issues, and potentially delaying a start if needed to protect his long-term effectiveness.
Best of the Bears: Could Colston Loveland be the team's No. 1 receiver?
Q: How might the Bears' offense restructure to maximize Loveland's production?
They discuss relying on Loveland alongside Roma Dunze and Luther Burden, with Bradbury orchestrating the line and Williams distributing the ball to create mismatches, while also acknowledging a possible shift in targets and usage to improve completion rates and overall yardage.
Best of the Bears: Could Colston Loveland be the team's No. 1 receiver?
Q: What is the plan for Loveland as a primary receiving option after DJ Moore leaves?
The hosts suggest Loveland could become a bigger focal point as the Bears reallocate targets, with the expectation that Loveland's route discipline and pre-snap processing will translate into a higher workload and more significant role.
