Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 128 ratings
  • Should have stuck with Adam

    This was a 5 star podcast when Adam was hosting and talking with Scott & Chris and a variety of Gator athletes. The AD interviews were top notch. The new format doesn’t pack the punch. There are plenty of other outstanding Florida Gator podcasts out there.

  • Really enjoyed the old format

    I’ve been a listener for several years now but have stopped following this pod. I do not like the format change. it’s the Sean Kelly show instead of Gator Tales. The previous host was much better IMO.

  • Totally Unnecessary Reboot

    The old format provided up-to-the-minute information and unique insight into all manner of Gator sports. It now seems to be a podcast version of an endless stream of TV News “Human Interest” stories designed to showcase the host.

  • Wright w/ awesome attitude

    Adam, Thanks for the interview with Wright. His perspective, faith, attitude is ideal, but rarer these days. I loved the humility and trust. You did a superb job with all your well-stated questions. Thanks!
