  • By far the best Packers podcast online

    In a media age of cringey hot takes and incessant shouting, this podcast is a very welcome and refreshing departure. The solo style is perfect for people, like me, who prefer quieter, more cerebral analysis. So much detail presented in a digestible manner, mapping back to the big picture. You could probably delete all the other Packer shows and have this keep you updated. Keep up the great work!

  • My favorite Packers podcast

    If you like horns, sirens, hot takes, and talking heads yelling over one another, you probably should pass on this podcast. Blue 58 is calm, intelligent, rational discussion about Green Bay Packers football. It has become my go-to Packers podcast.
