  • Sound is so bad. Bad-bad.

    Please invest in real, professional microphones. You sound absolutely awful - like amateur hour despite good content.

  • A+++

    This is one of my favorite pods. Patrick and Jason (and sometimes Potsy) get right down to brass tax and don’t mince words when describing the ineptitude of this franchise. They will also point to the positives (seldom as we see any). Keep up the great work!

  • Doesn’t waste my time!

    This podcast is all business, with almost no superficial fluff. The two reporters do an excellent job of providing useful, interesting, insightful information. I’ve listened to a couple other similar podcasts, and this one doesn’t waste my time with useless chatter.
