  • Poor sound quality

    Terrible sound quality as you can barely hear them. Not sure if it’s their microphones or the sound mixer. The show itself is interesting; at least when I can hear it😁

  • A terrific podcast that keeps getting better

    I’ve been enjoying this podcast all year, and I can’t believe that my favorite episode is the most recent one — after the season ended! The discussion of a future Celtics ownership change was in-depth and wise without being boring. Smart guys talking about a team they love as much as I do.

And to make matters worse, the low talker talked way too fast and trailed off at the ends of sentences. I could barely understand him, even when I raised the volume. Then the guy who spoke at a reasonable volume would talk and I would have to quickly lower the volume.

    The quality of the podcast was so annoying it detract... more
