There is such good stuff here when it comes to sports, but not sure why these smart people could think anyone wants to hear about their children’s pedantic sports achievements or what fish they most recently caught. Here for the intelligent sports takes but the rest is just tired narcissism.
DBU shows why podcasting is the perfect medium for all of your favorite radio personalities. Dan and Matt can now be themselves in the best way possible: talking sports without the distraction of useless callers, going “off-topic” without corporate guardrails blunting their passion, being themselves without oppressive sponsorships (or the FCC) directing their every word. If you were a fan of their work on The Score, this is the show you wish their midday show was.
