- Not a fan of recent change
I understand the need for some help with the show, but I’m not here to listen to a nepo baby get his shot at being on the radio. Love listening to you guys, but not the new intern. I’m sure he’ll be ok someday, but I’ll listen to other stuff for now. See ya in the fall 🫡

Easily the best podcast on msu sports and perhaps the best on Detroit sports as well.

Good info on MSU and Detroit sports with some random TDS thrown in there, cuz they can’t help themselves.

If it were just Couch talking Spartan sports for about 45 minutes it’d be the best podcast out there. Don’t really care for the other 90 minutes of content. Would love a Spartan sports podcast I could play without fear when my kids are in the car.
Apple Podcasts2Bxtreme1United Statesa year ago - Thanks for your political view

I fully understand and support democracy and the opinion of every individual. Just understand when your ego motivates you to express your personal views you are making people, like myself, look to other local sports podcasts. Not because I don’t respect your opinion, but because I don’t turn to sports insi... more
