It's good to have a Bears podcast that has hosts that are obviously huge fans and who are established and professional enough to have access to a lot of the inner workings of the team. They have some fun bits, particularly during the actual season.
But the amount of commercials is pretty wild. Up to 20% of the episode can be commercials at this point. Also, on a completely subjective note, I don't need 10 minutes of banter at the top of each episode.
Great Bears coverage
Been listening to this podcast since nearly the beginning. Appreciate Adam and Adam’s depth of knowledge: Ball Knowers. And it’s just a relief to be able to listen to Bears content without Mark Carman being a part of it.
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.
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.
