- 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 🫡

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.

Not because I don’t respect your opinion, but because I don’t turn to sports insi... more
