  • Podcast sound issues?

    Would rate it a 5 but as a podcast listener, frustrating that the sound is loud for one host and can’t hardly hear another host. Then the music. How come in this day and age?

  • Guest interviews are worth it

    I use this podcast for the guests (players/coaches) interviews. I skip through the preamble and post interview break downs. Unfortunately, I’ve lost interest in the radio guys opinions that are broken apart by the sponsor reads Jeff J has to do.

  • Fix the audio!

    Bears Etc audio is always excellent…everything else it’s always fluctuating audio levels. Content is great but I can’t give a higher rating until it’s fixed.
