  • Skeptical at first

    Tried CHGO first a few years ago and wasn’t blown away. Much more impressed by Hoge &Johns and developed a real appreciation for the the content , informative discussion and spirit.

    This is the top Bears content in Chicago and indeed th country.

  • Love Hoge & Jahns

    A great way for UK fans to keep up with the Bears... A great way for any nationality fans to keep up with the Bears actually!

    Update May ‘26

    BUT

    It has now become a saturated advertisement. Please cut them down a bit, way too many

    Was a 5 star has to be a 3 now.

  • Stick to Bears

    I have a rule with podcasts. If you open the pod with a story about your life that has nothing to do with the subject of the pod, I leave the pod and never come back. I didn’t come hear to listen to anything other than Bears draft talk. I’ll find another pod.

    Used to love this pod as a fan-focused but objective Bears pod. Clearly the McCaskeys or Warren got in their pockets because blaming anyone but the McCaskeys for this horrific Indiana proposal is preposterous.
